We have the disability discrimination act which makes it similarly
illegal. It also makes it illegal to develop a website that isn't
properly accessible, but we've yet to see any prosecutions.

Does your §508 have provisions for non-discrimination against healthy
people (making concessions for disabled people available to healthy
people?) ? That's what I'm using in the UK to justify my chip and
signature card.
