Individuals with a disability who need an accommodation to access an FDACS program, activity, employment and/or service should contact Anthony Tipler at (850) 617-7053 or ADARequests@FDACS.gov.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) does not discriminate on the basis of disability in employment or in the admission and access to its programs, services, or activities. FDACS is committed to ensuring that its programs, activities, employment opportunities, and services are equally available to all persons, including persons with disabilities. FDACS is committed to ensuring that communications with individuals with disabilities are as effective as communications with individuals without disabilities.
The FDACS Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator, located in the Bureau of Personnel Management, has been designated to coordinate and carry out this department's compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements of the ADA.
To ensure we have enough time to arrange for requested accommodations, the department asks that you submit your request for accommodation as early as possible before the scheduled event or need for service.
FDACS web designers and developers make every effort to provide their users with accessible information in a format that is equally available to all individuals. In designing and creating its website, FDACS implements the accessibility guidelines and principles of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d). Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers to information technology to make available opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage the development of technologies to help achieve these goals. This law requires that all individuals with disabilities have access to information and data comparable to that which is available to individuals without disabilities.
If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader, a screen reader, TTY, etc.) and the format of any of our website material interferes with your ability to access the information, contact us at ADARequests@FDACS.gov, and the appropriate staff member responsible for the specific webpage will contact you to provide further assistance. To enable us to respond in a manner most helpful to you, please indicate your requested accommodation, the preferred format for return correspondence, the web address of the requested material, and your contact information.
