Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
All web-based Geographical Information Systems (GIS) must conform with all WCAG 2.1 AA technical accessibility standards by April 24, 2026.
This adjusted requirement is from a new rule in Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It takes precedence over the current Texas Department of Information Resources (Texas DIR) exemption. Texas DIR has reviewed the GIS exemption and provided guidance in making GIS-based platforms accessible ahead of lifting the exemption.
