Oklahoma has a state-specific ICT accessibility law at 62 O.S. Sections 34.28-34.30, implemented by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) Information Services Division through its 'Accessibility of Information and Communication Technology Standard' (effective June 27, 2025). The standard requires state agencies, the State Regents for Higher Education, and CareerTech entities to ensure ICT conforms at minimum to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, aligned with federal Section 508 and ADA Title II, and to obtain VPATs from suppliers. Enforcement is complaint-driven through OMES (OAC 260:15-1-1 et seq.) with no private right of action and no statutory damages or per-violation fines; remedies are remediation and internal discipline, with the undue burden exception available. Local/municipal governments are excluded from the state statute but remain subject to federal ADA Title II.

What the law requires

• Responsible agency Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES), Information Services Division - Chief Information Officer (oklahoma.gov/omes/services/information-services.html) (opens in new tab)
• Adopted standard WCAG 2.1 Level AA at minimum (or the most current standard required by DOJ), aligned with federal Section 508 Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards and ADA Title II (DOJ 2024 web rule, 28 CFR Part 35). VPAT required from suppliers as affirmation of conformance.
• Who it covers State agencies of the executive and judicial branches (offices, boards, commissions, institutions, etc.); the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education; and the State Board of Career and Technology Education and Technology Center school districts. Vendors/contractors are bound through required ICT acquisition contract clauses. Political subdivisions of the state (local/municipal government) are expressly EXCLUDED from the state statute/standard, though federal ADA Title II applies to them independently.
• Private right of action No - no private right of action is created by the statute. Enforcement is complaint-driven: any individual may file a complaint that a state agency fails to comply, processed under OAC 260:15-1-1 et seq. OMES IS administers review, complaint, and remediation procedures consistent with Section 508.
• Statutory damages / penalties None - no statutory damages or per-violation civil penalties are specified. The statute provides complaint procedures only. The OMES standard provides that employees who violate it may face disciplinary action up to termination, and noncompliant ICT must be remediated within a reasonable timeframe; there are no monetary penalties to outside complainants under state law. (Separately, federal ADA Title II remedies may apply.)
• Exemptions Undue burden exception: compliance is required 'unless an undue burden would be imposed on that agency' (62 O.S. 34.28). The statute does not define undue burden. The OMES standard also defers to applicable statutory/regulatory exceptions under Section 508 and ADA Title II (which include undue burden and fundamental alteration).
• Governing authority Oklahoma Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility law: 62 O.S. Sections 34.28-34.30 (originally enacted 2004 by HB 2197, formerly 62 O.S. 41.5t; renumbered via HB 2015). Implementing rules at Oklahoma Administrative Code 260:15-1-1 et seq. and 260:115-7-54. OMES 'Accessibility of Information and Communication Technology Standard' (effective 06/27/2025), issued under 62 O.S. 34.11.1, 34.12, and 35.8.
• Compliance deadline No distinct state-specific dated deadline; the OMES ICT Accessibility Standard took effect 06/27/2025 and compliance is ongoing/expected for all ICT procured, developed, maintained, or used. Federal ADA Title II web/mobile compliance dates also apply (Apr 26 2026 / Apr 26 2027 depending on entity population size; note the standard references the DOJ 2024 rule).
