Louisiana State Digital Accessibility Requirements
Louisiana state policy encourages Section 508 compliance. Louisiana.gov has an accessibility widget available that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server.
Public Accommodation Laws
Louisiana Revised Statutes 51:2247 states: It is a discriminatory practice for a person to deny an individual the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of a place of public accommodation, resort, or amusement, as defined in this Chapter, on the grounds of disability.
Violation Penalties
Any person whose civil rights have been violated by discrimination shall have a civil cause of action in district court to enjoin further violations and to recover the actual damages, together with the costs of court and a reasonable fee for his attorney of record, in addition to any other remedies.
