So, this is for Texas. The question is if we need to repeat Section 508 on every state entry?

I’d like your inputs, @maryjom and @sharronrush.

[maryjom]

@yatil There is a states page. It would go in there. Not all states have the same policies.

[yatil]

@maryjom Yes. But the states pages are currently outside of the data model :-) Above is “GSA Section 508” which seems the same (?) as “Section 508”. Does Section 508 automatically apply to the states or not? (The wording “paragraphs (a) through (p), excluding paragraphs (b) and (k)” says to me that it does not necessarily apply to all states.)

[maryjom]

@yatil No, 508 doesn't automatically apply to states. It only applies to U.S. Federal.

This should be ready to go live once our States/Provinces mechanism is published
