Question 21 of 39
Laws and Regulations
In the United States, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act is what type of law?
Correct Answer:
Procurement Law
Procurement laws impose requirements on purchasing or contracting for services and mainly apply to governmental bodies. Section 508 is a procurement law that requires accessibility to be considered, which ends up affecting private companies that do business with government entities.
Civil rights laws, another type of laws relevant to accessibility, are concerned with equal rights and preventing discrimination.
