The U.S. Department of Justice released a new Interim Final Rule on implementation of the Americans with Disability Act web-based accessibility requirements for local and state governments.
The updated guidance grants a one-year extension from the original compliance deadline:
- Counties with populations over 50,000: April 24, 2027
- Counties with populations at or below 50,000: April 28, 2028
The National Association of Counties (NACo) is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, April 21, at 3 p.m. to walk through the rulemaking and next steps for implementation.
NACo policy staff will walk through the rulemaking, answer questions and outline how NACo will continue advocating on this issue on behalf of counties.
The South Carolina Association of Counties has complied a list of national and state resources to assist with web and digital accessibility.
