In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act and strengthened provisions
covering access to information in the federal sector for people with
disabilities. As amended, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires access
to the federal government’s electronic and information technology. The law
applies to all federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use
electronic and information technology. Federal agencies must ensure that this
technology is accessible to employees and the public. In compliance with Section
508, WRNMMC is dedicated to making all of our web pages accessible to all of our
visitors.
