North Carolina Digital Accessibility Requirements
NC.gov and other state agency websites are designed to reduce barriers to content for visitors with disabilities by implementing requirements that allow an inclusive, accessible online experience for users with assistive technology. The platform incorporates federally mandated Section 508 compliance standards and best practices recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) for web accessibility.
Public Accommodation Laws
It is a discriminatory practice for a person to deny a qualified person with a disability the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of a place of public accommodation on the basis of a disabling condition.
Violation Penalties
Court costs and legal fees may be awarded.
