ADA Title II Accessibility Review
Written scope. Reply in 1 business day.
The ADA Title II final rule requires all state and local government web & mobile content to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Tell us about your site and we reply within 1 business day with a written scope and price before any work starts. We do not hold a VPAT or third-party certification.
The compliance clock
Under the 2024 DOJ final rule on ADA Title II (28 CFR Part 35, Subpart H), state and local governments must meet WCAG 2.1 AA on web content and mobile apps by the dates below. This is general information, not legal advice.
Source: Department of Justice, 28 CFR Part 35, Subpart H (final rule published April 2024). On April 20, 2026 the DOJ issued an interim final rule moving both compliance dates back one year.
The scope also covers school districts, library systems, special districts, and public-sector higher-ed institutions.
