For entities with fewer than 50K people, ADA compliance is REQUIRED by 2027. The Department of Justice has officially ruled that Title II of the ADA applies to digital accessibility. This means websites and mobile apps used by state and local governments must be accessible to people with disabilities. By April 2026, these entities will need to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards to ensure equal access. This update impacts not just large entities but also smaller government bodies like public schools, libraries, and parks & rec departments. This ruling clarifies that websites, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, kiosks, and other digital content all fall under these accessibility requirements, ensuring people with disabilities have equal access to essential services. While this is a huge step forward, it’s important for organizations to act now to avoid falling behind on compliance deadlines. At Ablr 360, we’re here to help you meet these new standards. With our blend of technology and human insight, we ensure your digital content is 100% compliant.
