Local governments get another year to make their websites accessible to people with disabilities

The US Justice Department has pushed back the deadlines for state and local governments to make their websites and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities. Larger governments now have until April 2027, and smaller ones until April 2028.

This change means that people with disabilities will have to wait longer to access essential government information and services online. It also gives state and local governments more time to comply with the rules, potentially delaying necessary infrastructure upgrades and training for staff.
