Conformance Status
The Minnesota State Accessibility Standard requires information systems, tools, and content to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and selected provisions of Section 508. The standard aims to ensure that all information is accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes websites, documents, and other digital content.
The WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Our website meets all of the required WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria, meaning it provides a high level of accessibility for users with diverse abilities, including those who:
-
Use screen readers or other assistive technologies
-
Navigate by keyboard only
-
Require high contrast or text magnification
-
Have motor, cognitive, or sensory disabilities

Known Limitations and Alternatives
Some older documents available for download (including archived meeting minutes, agendas, and historical records) may not be fully accessible to screen readers or other assistive technologies.
