Accessibility
This site is built so everyone can use it, including people who use assistive technology.
Our standard
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. WCAG is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
What we do
- Captions and transcripts. Every video on this site has captions, checked word by word against the recording. Every quote you can listen to is also shown in full as text.
- Keyboard access. Every link, button, and form field can be reached with a keyboard, in order, with a visible focus outline.
- Room to zoom. Pages work at 400% zoom and on screens 320 pixels wide, without scrolling side to side or cutting off text. They also hold up when you widen letter, word, and line spacing.
- Readable contrast. Text and controls meet WCAG AA contrast levels, including text over photos.
- Less motion on request. Scroll animations turn off when your device is set to reduce motion. Nothing on the page depends on them.
- Works without scripts. With JavaScript turned off, every page still shows all of its text, and videos and audio play with your browser’s own controls.
- Plain language. We write for anyone to follow. Most pages read at about an eighth-grade level. The Bill of Rights page quotes the law, so it reads at a higher level.
How we check
An automated accessibility checker reviews every page against the WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules each time the site changes. In October 2026 we also checked every page by hand: a keyboard walk on desktop and phone, zoom and text spacing, heading order and page regions for screen readers, and each video’s captions against what is said.
Known limits
Some documents we link to are not on this site. The model legislation is a set of Word files on sedi.utah.gov, and full Summit recordings on YouTube use YouTube’s automatic captions, which can contain errors. If you need a document or recording in another format, or a transcript, contact us and we will help.
Report a problem
If something on this site does not work for you, please tell us. Include the page and what happened, and we will work to fix it. Contact the consortium.
