DOJ Rule about Web Accessibility
In 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) finalized a rule clarifying requirements for the accessibility of government web sites and applications.
The rule updates regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), specifying that state and local governments must follow the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. With limited exceptions for archived or restricted documents, Illinois agencies will have until April 2026 to meet the clarified requirements.
