Department of Justice’s Ruling on Website Accessibility

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has recently issued a final rule that clarifies the obligations of state and local governments under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to make their websites and mobile applications accessible. This ruling is a significant milestone in our journey towards full digital inclusion, as it provides clear and consistent accessibility standards for digital content.
