New York State Technology Policy P04-002
Accessibility of State Agency Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications
Issued June 21, 2004
On June 21, 2004, the New York State Office for Technology issued statewide technology policy P04-002: "Accessibility of State Agency Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications". This policy requires all New York State Agencies, including SUNY campuses, create Web sites that are accessible to persons with disabilities. This policy replaces and supersedes policy 99-3.
Policy P04-002 adopts NYS Mandatory Technology Standard S04-001, which identifies how state agencies will make their content accessible for persons with disabilities. In addition, state agencies will post contact information (email address and telephone number) with respect to accessibility for persons with disabilities on their web sites to enable individuals to contact the state agency.
