Priorities — Accessibility

Fiscal Year 2008 Through 2010 (October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2010)

SUBJECT AREA 3
Access to Government & Private Businesses

Our vision is that individuals with disabilities have full access to all facilities, programs, and services of government, including voting, as well as private businesses.

  1. Governmental entities, entities receiving governmental funds (including community colleges, universities and trade schools), private professional offices, and large businesses comply with the architectural, programmatic and service accessibility requirements, including effective communication, under federal and state law.
  2. The Secretary of State, county election officials and election officials of other political subdivisions, comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
  3. Individuals with disabilities can easily register and cast a vote, have accessible polling places, and get help in filing complaints if they experience barriers to voting. (HAVA)
