Who is directly affected by the laws of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in addition to the U.S. federal government?

The correct answer is that all organizations that do business with the federal government are directly affected by the laws of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 mandates that federal agencies make their electronic and information technology accessible to individuals with disabilities. This requirement extends to any organization that enters into a contract or does business with the federal government, meaning they must comply with these accessibility standards when creating or providing technologies intended for use by federal employees or the public.

While the law aims to benefit everyone, particularly those with disabilities, its direct enforcement impacts those entities engaged in business with the government. This focus ensures that the government can fulfill its obligation to provide equal access to technology and information for all individuals, including those with disabilities. The other options, while related to accessibility in a broader sense, do not carry the same enforcement implications as Section 508 does for contractors and organizations in partnership with federal agencies.
