ASAN Opposes the Title II Intrim Final Rule Delay. They strongly oppose the DOJ’s Interim Final Rule delaying compliance dates for web and mobile accessibility under the 2024 disability nondiscrimination rule, arguing the delay denies people with disabilities timely access to essential government services.
The comments argue the rule change is arbitrary and capricious under the APA because DOJ over-relied on public entities’ concerns, ignored disability community harms, and skipped notice-and-comment despite making substantive changes.
ASAN says DOJ’s justifications are factually flawed, including claims that WCAG standards are too dynamic, that the education exception created confusion, that AI developments affected timing, and that speculative international interference could affect litigation.
The group contends the delay harms people with disabilities by prolonging inaccessible websites and apps, undermining independence and dignity, and discouraging public entities from moving toward compliance.
ASAN urges DOJ to overturn the Interim Final Rule and keep the original 2024 compliance dates unchanged.
