By policy at Texas HHS agencies we consider compliance with WCAG 2.0 AA to meet or exceed the requirements of Section 508. All new projects are required to comply with WCAG 2.0 AA.

Hi All!

In order to make a website compliant with 'Chapter 206' and 'Chapter 213'
of Texas Administrative Code, would it be sufficient to abide by WCAG 2.0 or the website need to compliant with Section 508?

Thanks and Regards,
