Update: the Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SANPRM) titled Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities has now been published in the Federal Register. Comments are due by August 8, 2016.

I encourage any of you involved with for state and local government websites, including K-12 and other public education instructions, to review the SANPRM, and submit your comments if you have any. Many of their questions ask for data. (For instance, Question 4 asks for data on the availability of qualified accessibility professionals.) I would love to see any data folks dig up for any of the SANPRM questions.
