Thought this information might be appropriate for the "State Policies Relating to Web Accessibility" page (http://www.w3.org/WAI/Policy/USA- States.html)... On February 14, 2002, the Governor of Illinois signed Administrative Order 1 (2002) directing that: "Each agency shall utilize the Illinois Web Accessibility Standards for the development of web sites, intranets, and web-based applications to provide greater access to State web sites and online services for citizens with disabilities. These standards are designed to provide practical and specific direction that meets or exceeds all standards covered in "Section 508" of the federal Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 and all "Priority 1" Checkpoints of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines." The Illinois Web Accessibility Guidelines are available at: http://www.state.il.us/tech/technology/accessibility The Administrative Order is available at: http://www100.state.il.us/tech/tech_administrative.cfm (I believe that the order covers all executive-branch state agencies.) Feel free to email if you need any additional information. Thanks, Mike Mike Scott MSF&W Information Technology Solutions (217) 698-3535 (217) 698-1353 TTY http://www.msfw.com
