The ADA Title II web rule, in plain words
Short answers to the questions clerks ask, each checked against the regulation and linked to its source.
Checked against the regulation on
- Colorado state law in force
- Federal rule: governments of 50,000 or more
- Federal rule: under 50,000, and all special districts
What is the ADA Title II web rule?
The ADA Title II web rule is a Department of Justice regulation that requires state and local governments to make their websites and mobile apps meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. It covers the documents a town posts, such as agendas, minutes and notices, not only the web pages that hold them.
When does it apply to small towns?
Towns and counties under 50,000 people, and all special districts, have until April 26, 2028, under an interim final rule the Department of Justice published on April 20, 2026. Larger governments have until April 26, 2027. A pending lawsuit asks a court to undo the extension, so check the dates before you plan around them.
Are agendas and minutes posted as PDFs covered?
Agendas and minutes posted as PDFs are covered once they are posted on or after the compliance date. The rule calls them conventional electronic documents. Older ones can fall under an exception if they were posted before that date and are not currently used to apply for, access or take part in a service.
Do we have to take old minutes down?
No. Old minutes can stay up if they meet the rule’s archived content exception: made before the compliance date, kept only for reference or records, not changed since archiving, and kept in an area marked as archived. Colorado’s Office of Information Technology also advises governments not to remove inaccessible documents.
Why keep a dated record?
A dated record matters because the rule puts the burden on the town. Under 28 CFR 35.205, a government that falls short can still be treated as meeting its duties only if it can demonstrate the gap has a minimal impact on access. A monthly record of what was found and fixed is where that starts.
Can anyone guarantee we meet the rule?
No, and we would be wary of anyone who does. In 2025 the Federal Trade Commission ordered one accessibility software company to pay $1 million over claims that its product made websites meet WCAG. We promise the work instead: a monthly scan, fixed files checked by a person, and the record.
Guides for the person who posts
All six guidesHow readable is your town?
Send us your website. A person opens the latest agenda you posted and tells you, on one page, what a screen reader finds in it. Free.
What you get
- Your latest agenda or packet, checked for real text, tags, a title and a language
- What a screen reader finds when it opens the file, in plain words
- The first page of your Readable Record, dated, for you to keep
Readable Town is a Diego Luján Studio initiative. We do not sell widgets, overlays or badges, and we never claim a site meets the law. We fix the documents, have a person check them, and keep the record.
Four fields, about a minute. One reply, from a person.
We have your town.
A person will open the latest agenda you posted and write back, on one page, with what a screen reader finds in it.
