It is the policy of the City of St. Petersburg to provide workplaces free from discrimination, harassment, and related inappropriate behavior. The City does not condone or tolerate any behavior that is discriminatory, harassing or otherwise inappropriate when such behavior is based on an Individual's or group's race, color, national origin, religion, gender, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, language, or other protected category.

Section 508 Law (29 U.S.C. '794d)

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage the development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. '794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others. It is recommended that you review the laws and regulations listed below to further your understanding of Section 508 and how you can support implementation.
