Plain-English Summary

This bill would require websites and software applications to meet accessibility standards so that people with disabilities can use them effectively, similar to how physical buildings must have ramps and elevators. It would apply to most businesses and organizations that operate online, potentially including requirements for features like screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, and captions for videos. The law aims to ensure that people with visual, hearing, mobility, and cognitive disabilities have equal access to digital services and information.
