Gov'T. CODE § 669.003. Section 13.22 Technology Accessibility. If performance under this Contract includes the development, modification or maintenance of a website for DSHS or for the public on behalf of DSHS, Contractor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be expended in connection with the purchase of an automated information system unless that system meets certain statutory and regulatory requirements relating to accessibility by persons with blindness, visual impairments, visual accuity less than 20/70, deafness, diminishing hearing, inability to speak or a lack of fine motor control (collectively "affected persons"). Accordingly, Contractor represents and warrants to DSHS that the technology provided to DSHS for purchase is capable, either by virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of: a. Providing equivalent access for effective use by affected persons; b. Presenting information, including prompts used for interactive communications, in formats intended for use by affected persons; and c. Being integrated into networks for obtaining, retrieving, and disseminating information used by affected persons. For purposes of this section, the phrase "equivalent access" means a substantially similar ability to communicate with or make use of the technology, either directly by features incorporated within the technology or by other reasonable means such as assistive devices or services that would constitute reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state or federal laws. Examples of methods by which equivalent access may be provided include, but are not limited to, keyboard alternatives to mouse commands and other means of navigating graphical displays, information retrieval provided in an enhanced auditory fashion, voice commands, touch screen capacity, and customize display appearance.
