The New York Attorney General's office has decided that ADA does
cover
private companies and that those companies must adhere to the
WCAG
Guidelines (not 508). Both Ramada and Priceline were
investigated and have
agreed to bring their sites up to speed. Not only that, but
they both
agreed to cover the costs of the investigations.
"The Attorney General opined that the Americans With
Disabilities Act
requires that private web sites be accessible to blind and
visually impaired
Internet users. The ADA generally dictates that all "places of
public
accommodation" and all "goods, services, facilities, privileges,
advantages,
or accommodations" of places of public accommodation, must be
made
accessible to disabled citizens, absent undue hardship. New York
law
provides similar civil rights protections."
I know I am a nag on Accessibility, but trust me, its going to
happen and
the sooner all of you start getting into it, the better for all
of our
companies. This is the tip of the iceberg.
Sandy
