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. As of the morning of April 17th, this has now changed.
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.
Don’t Stop!
You have been busting your asses to meet this deadline. This update means you can take the weekend off. But on Monday, it’s back to fixing issues and remediating PDFs. But there’s one more thing this affords you, time to work with a consultant to develop a plan so the next time rules change you don’t have to wish for a last minute reprieve.
Oh, and now there is no excuse for not fixing those PDFs…
