The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a final rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that establishes clear technical standards for web and mobile app accessibility.

It also clarifies who must comply, key deadlines based on population size, and the implementation guidance available to help organizations prepare.
