The Federal Rule

DOJ Title II Final Rule — April 24, 2024

The Department of Justice published a final rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requiring state and local government web content to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Who It Applies To

Every state and local government entity in all 50 states — cities, counties, townships, public universities, school districts, courts, and special authorities. If your entity receives public funding and serves citizens, this federal rule applies to you.

What WCAG 2.1 AA Requires

28 specific success criteria covering perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust web content — including proper headings, form labels, keyboard navigation, color contrast, alt text, focus management, and more.
