[blindlaw] College textbooks question

[Ross Doerr]

Hello Angie:
thank you for the reference.
I have been looking through the Instructional Materials Accessibility Act of 
2002 provisions and am not finding the university level applicability I was 
hoping for, but it is nice to know that One state has takent he plunge in 
that direction. I will look into it.
Thank you.
Ross A. Doerr Esq.
