General Pension Board Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

Local government pension plans are being advised to ensure their websites and digital content meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. This requirement applies to documents and digital content, with compliance deadlines based on local population size: April 24, 2026, for populations over 50,000, and April 2027 for those under 50,000. The General Pension Board Meeting in the City of Kissimmee, Osceola, is reviewing this matter. This review could lead to future needs for vendors to provide compliant digital content and reports. The work would involve updating websites, ensuring digital documents meet accessibility standards, and potentially modifying existing software or systems. Contractors specializing in web development, digital accessibility consulting, and IT services may find opportunities as pension plans and their sponsors work towards compliance. Early engagement with these entities could be beneficial as they plan for these upcoming requirements.
