Section 508, an amendment to the United States Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973, is a federal law mandating that all electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used by the federal government or agencies funded by the government, be accessible to people with disabilities. This requires Federally funded agencies to make their Electronic Information Technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities.

Starting January 2018, the World Wide Web Consortium, (WC3) an international standards organization, takes over Section 508 with the updated Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). WCAG establishes clear guidelines for compliance. The American Disabilities Act (ADA) had no provisions for technology so the new WCAG guideline was updated to the Rehabilitation Act. More accessibility information is available here.
