The ADA Title II deadline. The U.S. Department of Justice's 2024 rule requires state and local government web content, including PDFs posted on their websites, to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Under the DOJ's April 20, 2026 interim final rule, the compliance dates are: Source: ADA.gov fact sheet and Federal Register, April 20, 2026. Which date applies depends on the agency's population (Census Bureau figures); this is general information, not legal advice.
