1. Status of compliance with the requirements

2. Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

a) Non-compliance with Sec. 10 (1) L-BGG

In some cases, alternative texts for images are not narrated and/or not all layout graphics are designated as such.

Links to content from legacy systems of Verband Region Stuttgart may lead to non-accessible content. For example, documents from the RIM sessional service are non-accessible.
