Tech Accessibility Liability Contractor

Abstract

Under current law, certain provisions are required in a public school contract (contract), and if the provisions are omitted from a contract, the law deems that the provisions are automatically included in the contract. The act clarifies that the list includes that a contractor is required to comply with accessibility standards adopted by the office of information technology for an individual with a disability. The act adds a provision to the list to require a contractor to indemnify, hold harmless, and assume liability on behalf of a public school contracting entity, the public school, and the public school's employees and agents, for all remedies for noncompliance with standards that ensure technology accessibility to persons with disabilities. The act requires that a contract or agreement entered into between a state agency or public entity and a contractor must require a contractor to comply with accessibility standards adopted by the office of information technology for an individual with a disability. Additionally, the contractor must indemnify, hold harmless, and assume liability on behalf of a state agency or public entity's officers, employees, and agents for all remedies for noncompliance with standards that ensure technology accessibility to persons with disabilities. If the provisions are omitted from a contract, the law deems that the provisions are automatically included in the contract. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
