Fact Sheet: New Rule on the Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps Provided by State and Local Governments
This fact sheet outlines a landmark final rule updating Title II regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regarding the accessibility of web content and mobile applications.
The resource mandates that state and local government entities—including public schools, transit agencies, and social service offices—ensure their digital platforms conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1, Level AA technical standards.
