Connecticut to Enforce Accessibility Guidelines Darby Patterson - May 31, 2002 -- HARTFORD, Conn. -- As accessibility in Web-site design becomes increasingly important to state and local governments, Connecticut is ensuring its Web-site designers are trained and qualified in creating an accessible site.
