Digital Accessibility Initiative

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Updated Federal Legislation

The new ADA rule from DOJ requires accessibility compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines​ by April 24, 2026 for all state websites, applications, and systems. This applies to both websites maintained directly by government staff and sites maintained by third-party vendors.
