Should the Departments seek additional changes to the website and mobile applications final rules, we urge full transparency and public participation...

DOJ's interim final rule took effect April 20, 2026, extended Title II web and mobile app accessibility compliance for larger public entities to April 26, 2027 and for smaller or special district entities to April 26, 2028. Comments closed June 22, 2026.

In the lookback window, the comment period closed for a DOJ action that delayed the 2024 ADA Title II website and mobile app accessibility compliance dates instead of preserving the original schedule.

Federal Register: Extension of Compliance Dates for Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities
secondary · model gpt-5.5 · confidence 96%

DOJ's ADA.gov fact sheet says the 2024 final rule set specific web and mobile accessibility requirements, and notes that the 2026 interim final rule extended compliance dates by one year.

DOJ still describes enforceable Title II web and mobile accessibility requirements, but it also confirms the Trump-era one-year delay that the commitment sought to avoid.

The current Title II regulation requires public entities' web content and mobile apps to meet WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA beginning April 26, 2027 for larger entities and April 26, 2028 for smaller or special district entities.

The ADA rule's enforceable technical standard remains in the current CFR, but the implementation dates now reflect DOJ's 2026 delay.

The current HHS Section 504 regulation requires covered recipients' web content and mobile apps to meet WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA beginning May 11, 2027 for recipients with fifteen or more employees and May 10, 2028 for smaller recipients.

HHS's accessibility requirements remain codified, but the current dates show delayed implementation compared with the original 2024 schedule.

HHS's 2024 Section 504 final rule adopted web, mobile, and kiosk accessibility provisions after notice and comment, including WCAG 2.1 requirements for recipients' web content and mobile apps.

This establishes the original HHS rule baseline and public rulemaking record; later current codification shows the implementation schedule was not kept intact.
