DOJ Title II Web Rule · April 2024
State and local government entities — including special districts and CDDs — must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA for all public-facing web content and documents.
Public information and services delivered through your district's website, resident portals, newsletters, online forms, and mobile apps should meet WCAG 2.1 AA — including contrast, keyboard access, forms, and assistive technology compatibility.
Meeting agendas, minutes, budgets, financials, and other PDFs posted online must be tagged and readable with screen readers — often where public-sector teams discover the largest backlog after scanning the homepage alone.
