You Have 12-24 Months to Comply—Are You Ready?
On April 24, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a historic ruling: all state and local government digital services must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2026 or 2027, depending on population size. This is no longer a recommendation—it’s enforceable federal law.
If your website, documents, mobile apps, or online services aren’t fully accessible to people with disabilities, your entity is now at legal risk.
Key Deadlines:
April 26, 2026: Governments serving 50,000+ people
April 26, 2027: Governments serving under 50,000 and all special purpose districts
What’s at Stake
-
💼 DOJ Investigations
-
⚖️ ADA Lawsuits & Consent Decrees
-
📉 Reputation Damage & Public Backlash
-
💸 Fines, Legal Costs & Unfunded Mandates
Noncompliance isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a public service and civil rights issue.
What Must Be Accessible?
If it’s public-facing and digital, it must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA:
-
Government websites & service portals
-
PDF documents, forms, and Microsoft files
-
Mobile apps & mobile-friendly sites
-
Videos, livestreams, and multimedia
-
Online payments, maps, calendars, and search tools
-
Social media content (new posts only)
Even your third-party vendors must comply. All new procurement contracts must include accessibility requirements.
