Second April 8th update: The final rule on ADA state and local government website regulations has now been signed by the Attorney General. The rule will be official as soon as it is published in the Federal Register (any day).
The DOJ issued a press release this afternoon titled Justice Department to Publish Final Rule to Strengthen Web and Mobile App Access for People with Disabilities
In it find links to:
- The "unofficial version" of the rule (the one that will be official when published in the Federal Register)
- The DOJ Fact Sheet about the rule
- The American Sign Language (ASL) version
From DOJ's Office of Public Affairs:
The final rule mandates technical standards for state and local governments to help ensure the accessibility of their programs and services provided through the web and mobile apps. By providing clarity on how to make sure these platforms are accessible for people with disabilities, this final rule advances the ADA's promise of a more inclusive society.
