The compliance date for public entities with a total population of less than 50,000, or any special district government, is extended from April 26, 2027, to April 26, 2028. There will be a 60-day period, starting April 20th,2026 where comments may be submitted.

The requirements remain the same that web and mobile applications must meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard.
