Government Website Accessibility Blog
The DOJ Title II rule requires every US state and local government agency to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027. This blog covers what the rule demands, which agencies are covered, and how to scope a compliance program — with detailed guides for every major state, county, and city. Morton Digital audits government sites against the full WCAG 2.1 AA standard, not just what automated scanners catch.
