A state agency that cannot comply with the requirements of this section shall, by January first, two thousand twenty-seven, post publicly on its website a written progress report that describes with specificity the steps the agency has taken to comply with this section, the impediments that prevented compliance, the efforts undertaken by the agency to come into compliance, and an estimated time frame for compliance. The written report shall be updated annually from the date of the original posting. This section shall not require an agency to take any action that would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of a service, program, or activity.

For purposes of this section, "changes to form or function" shall mean modifications to the visual presentation, informational organization, website infrastructure, or user utility of the website, including but not limited to: 1. redesigns of site layout, color schemes, graphics, branding elements, or other aesthetic components; and 2. integration of dynamic interfaces. Nothing in this section shall be construed to be inconsistent with any current or future applicable federal laws or regulations.
