The Department of Justice took a major step this week towards ensuring website and mobile app access for disabled people under federal disability law.on Monday that will clarify obligations of state and local governments to make their websites and mobile apps accessible by creating technical standards for guidance on how to achieve this.

“By issuing clear and consistent accessibility standards for state and local governments’ digital content, this rule advances the ADA’s promise of equal participation in society for people with disabilities.

The rule on Monday follows less than a month after the Center for American Progress, former Congressman Tony Coelho and other disability groups wrote a letter urging the Department of Justice to finalize its pending rules and regulations impacting disabled people in the U.S.
