ADA Title II Final Rule Handbook

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was the first legislation in human history to promise accessible experiences for people with disabilities.

In 2024, the Department of Justice published a Final Rule for ADA Title II organizations (state and municipal governments across the United States), setting WCAG 2.1 AA as the measurement standard for digital accessibility, with deadlines in April 2027 and April 2028.

Whether you're new to accessibility and WCAG or have been in this space for years, this handbook will clarify exactly who has obligations, precisely what types of websites, apps, and documents require attention, the deadlines for compliance, and all applicable exceptions you need to know.
