What it does

This bill would require the mayor, or the mayor’s designee, to establish guidelines for the accessibility of any printed document created by an agency or related to an agency program or activity. These guidelines would apply to documents posted on an agency’s website or emailed to the public for printing. The guidelines must be published online and include, at a minimum, standards for formatting, visual design, and readability. Where practicable, any printed document an agency creates for public dissemination must comply with these guidelines.
