20 Reasons CMOs Should Choose React.js and Next.js for a Modern CMS
What’s Changing in 2026?
In 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued new rules under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These rules require state and local government organizations—including public hospitals, schools, and courts—to make their websites and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities.
The deadlines are:
April 24, 2026 for larger government entities (serving 50,000+ people).
April 26, 2027 for smaller entities.
While this ruling directly affects government-funded organizations, the message is clear: digital accessibility is no longer optional—it’s the standard. Private hospitals, nonprofits, and businesses may not have a hard deadline yet, but they are still subject to ADA lawsuits and public expectations.
Why Accessibility Is Important for Everyone
Accessibility is about more than compliance. It’s about people. Imagine:
A patient trying to schedule an appointment at a hospital.
A parent registering a child for school online.
A resident applying for housing assistance.
If a website isn’t accessible, those individuals face unnecessary barriers. By contrast, accessible websites build trust, inclusivity, and better user experiences for all visitors.
Legal pressure is increasing too. Even without the 2026 deadlines, private organizations face lawsuits and reputational damage if their websites exclude people with disabilities. Accessibility is quickly becoming a hallmark of professionalism and responsibility across every sector.
