San Francisco is arguing federal accessibility measurements shouldn't matter and private individuals can't enforce access standards. A Ninth Circuit ruling could reshape disability rights enforcement across nine states.

Don't Stop! The DOJ has released a note that an interim final rule will delay this by a year until April 24, 2027 for populations over 50,000. This rule takes effect Monday April 20th, 2026. #ada #titleII
Still, Don’t Stop!
Last year, just after the EAA deadline, I made a quick and short post called Don't Stop. Just because the deadline hit and you aren't accessible, you still need to keep working on it. Well today I have another one for you. In the United States of America there was to be a final ruling going to effect on April 24th, 2026 that was going to make WCAG 2.1 A and AA the standard under ADA Title II.
