The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has delayed when state and local governments must make their websites and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities. These requirements were finalized in 2024 under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and were set to begin in 2026. The new rule delays those deadlines to 2027 and beyond, and also signals that additional changes may be coming.
The federal government is now accepting public comments on this change through June 22, 2026. This is your opportunity to help shape what happens next.
Submit a public comment and share how government websites and apps affect your daily life — including when they work and when they don’t. Learn how to submit your comment: https://www.disabilitybelongs.org/2026/04/action-alert-doj-accessibility-delay/
