Compliance Status
These websites are partially compliant with Bayerische Verordnung über die elektronische Verwaltung und die barrierefreie Informationstechnik (BayEGovV). The non-compliances and the exemptions are listed below.
Non-accessible content
- Partially missing alt-attributes for images, tables, control elements and layout graphics.
- Information in easy language and sign language is missing.
- There may be errors in the heading hierarchy or links may be incomprehensible.
- Not all pdf documents are accessible without barriers.
- When resizing text, content and functionality are partly lost.
- Words and sections in other languages are not marked.
- The contrast between text and background is not sufficient in every case.
- Additional content that appears and disappears in coordination with keyboard focus or pointer hover does not always remain accessible.
Reasons for inaccessible content
The web presence is currently undergoing a relaunch. A revision of the existing websites is therefore no longer useful.
