CPACC Exam Standards and LawsQuestions and Answers
Web accessibility laws tend to fit into what law categories? - Answers -Civil rights laws,
Procurement laws, Industry-specific laws
What are civil rights laws? - Answers -These are laws that emphasize equal rights for
people with disabilities, often making it illegal to discriminate against people with
disabilities under certain defined conditions, such as employment, access to buildings,
government services, or "places of public accommodation" such as restaurants, retail,
entertainment, etc. Sometimes these laws include technical standards. Other times they
do not. The Americans with Disabilities Act is an example of a civil rights law.
What are procurement laws? - Answers -These laws require that accessibility be taken
into account when making a purchase or when contracting for services. For example,
the law could state that if there are three potential products and two of them meet
accessibility standards, only the products that meet the standards should be considered
for purchase. It would be against the law to buy the product that does not meet
accessibility standards. The most prominent procurement laws (like Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act in the United States, and EN 301 549 in the European Union) apply
only to government entities, but it is possible that a future law could impact private
businesses.
What are industry-specific laws? - Answers -Sometimes an industry is so important to
accessibility that the government writes a law just for that industry. Examples include
telecommunications and airplane travel, both of which have accessibility-related laws in
the United States, which are the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility
Act (CVAA) and the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), respectively.
