Quick Guide to Digital Accessibility for State and Local Governments

Digital accessibility is a growing priority for state and local governments. In recent years, states including California, Colorado, and Massachusetts have passed laws mandating that digital technology used by government organizations meets specific accessibility criteria, with more states expected to follow suit. Additionally, all U.S. state and local government entities may soon be held accountable for adhering to new web accessibility standards under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ACA).
