Website Accessibility Resources
The Department of Justice published its final rule in April 2024 establishing specific state and local government accessibility standards for web content and mobile apps. The rule sets a compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, for local governments with a total population of 50,000 people or more and a deadline of April 26, 2027, for local governments with a total population up to 49,999.
