Your Impact
Information accessibility is equally as important as information security.
The State of Louisiana meets federal law to protect private information. Additionally, it must meet accessibility standards requirements. Accessibility is a team sport. No state agency handles making digital services accessible. Everyone who contributes content to digital products or services should want it to be accessible to everyone.
