Delaware State Digital Accessibility Requirements
The State of Delaware Department of Technology and Information Digital Accessibility Policy states that it is committed to following WCAG 2.1, the ADA, Sections 504 and 508, 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA), and Title 6 Delaware Code 4504. All state agencies must comply with these standards and also provide standards compliance reports annually.
Public Accommodation Laws
No person being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, director, supervisor, superintendent, agent, or employee of any place of public accommodation, may directly or indirectly refuse, withhold from, or deny to any person, on account of disability any of the accommodations, facilities, advantages, or privileges thereof. It is also unlawful to directly or indirectly publish, issue, circulate, post, or display any communication, notice, or advertisement that suggests the patronage of those with disabilities is in any way unwanted, unwanted, or unsolicited.
Violation Penalties
The plaintiff may recover actual damages suffered, court costs and legal fees, and injunctive or equitable relief. To vindicate public interest, the human rights panel may assess a civil penalty against the respondent to be paid to the Special Administration Fund of up to $25,000, depending on whether the respondent has been charged with previous offenses.
