Did you know Section 752 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023 impacts both public and private sectors, mandating accessible digital content and emphasizing accountability? Understanding Section 752  Building on Section 508, it enforces stringent accessibility standards for information and communication technology (ICT). Reporting Requirements  Organizations must complete a 105-item questionnaire covering accessibility testing, tracking, and remediation, ensuring thorough compliance. Beyond Federal Agencies  Section 752 affects private sectors like healthcare, education, and technology, promoting wider adoption of accessibility standards. Consequences of Non-Compliance  Non-compliance leads to legal, financial, and reputational risks, making it a vital step towards inclusivity and better user experiences. Opportunities for Advancement  Section 752 standardizes digital accessibility, driving real change and setting annual goals for continuous improvement. Embrace Accessibility with Continual Engine, where we leverage AI-powered solutions to meet and exceed Section 752 requirements.
