Hi jfpolis87​ 

I'm happy to test along with you using ANDI.

I published and tested the example that EricSantos​ shared to a web server (feel free to test this output), and I see an Aria-Hidden Alert on the text box with the bulleted list using ANDI. The specific alert I'm seeing is: 
Element is focusable but has or is contained by [aria-hidden=true]. Focusable element is not in the keyboard tab order and has no accessible name; should it be tabbable?  

The automated test using ANDI warns about potential risk, probably because this element has a tabindex=. However, tabindex= -1 indicates the item should not be focusable, and hidden things shouldn't be focusable, which is correct for a text box because it's not interactive. 

JAWS is reading the semantic list for me as expected during usability testing:
