The LCC provides nonpartisan coordination of accessibility compliance efforts for the Minnesota Legislature.

Accessibility Statement for the Minnesota Legislature

In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 3.199, beginning October 1, 2024, the senate, the house of representatives, and joint legislative offices and commissions must comply with accessibility standards adopted for state agencies by the chief information officer for technology, software, and hardware procurement, unless the responsible authority for a legislative body or office has approved an exception for a standard for that body or office.

The digital accessibility standards applicable to state agencies are governed under Minnesota Statutes, section 16E.03, subdivision 9.

The Minnesota Legislature Digital Accessibility Policy was adopted by the Legislative Coordinating Committee on October 15, 2024.

Measures to support accessibility

The Minnesota Legislature is committed to ongoing improvement in accessibility to ensure that our digital content and services are accessible to all.

The Minnesota Legislature supports accessibility by embedding it into internal policies, integrating it into procurement practices, designating departmental accessibility champions, and providing ongoing staff training and resources.

We continually refine our website to conform to accessibility standards and provide our online information in an accessible format.
