DOJ Rule about Web Accessibility
In April 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) published a rule requiring state and local government web sites, web documents, and web applications to meet the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. With limited exceptions for archived or restricted documents, most state agencies will have until April 2026 to meet these requirements.
