What does "Exemption Void" mean?

If a document shows "Exemption Void" status, it means a Legacy Archive (pre-deadline) was modified after being archived. The ADA accessibility exemption has been permanently voided.

Key points:

  • The record is preserved as compliance documentation that an ADA exemption violation occurred
  • The file can be archived again, but any new entry will automatically be classified as General Archive regardless of the current date
  • Files/URLs with voided exemptions permanently lose Legacy Archive eligibility
  • The original voided record remains in the system for audit trail purposes

How this happens:

  • A file's checksum changed after archiving (file was modified or replaced)
  • A manually archived page's content was edited and saved

What to do:

  1. Investigate why the modification occurred
  2. If the content needs to remain accessible, remediate it to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards
  3. If needed, create a new archive entry (will be General Archive)
