DOJ issued the ADA Title II Web and Mobile Application Accessibility Rule (April 2024) with technical requirements; compliance deadlines are April 24, 2026, for cities with a population >50,000 and April 26, 2027, for cities with a population <50,000. Now, there are possible changes to ADA Title II.
The DOJ plans to issue an interim final rule and revisit parts of the regulation to consider modifying provisions and reducing implementation costs; OIRA is currently reviewing the interim final rule.
The League of Minnesota Cities and the National League of Cities are pursuing relief options (e.g., tailored exemptions for very small jurisdictions and technical adjustments), building on LMC’s 2023 comments, and will meet with OIRA.
NLC is collecting anonymized examples of compliance costs from cities (by population range) via an online form and requests submissions as soon as possible; no city names or identifying information will be shared with OIRA.
