Ethics Commission
ADA / WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliance Assessment
https://ethics.wv.gov/Federal ADA Title II Compliance Deadline
April 26, 2027 — state and local government entities serving 50,000+ population must comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Entities under 50,000 have until April 26, 2028. Deadlines set by the DOJ's April 2026 Interim Final Rule.
Accessibility Assessment
Why ADA Compliance Matters
Legal Liability
Under the updated ADA Title II rule (28 CFR Part 35), state and local government websites that fail to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by their applicable deadline (April 26, 2027) face enforcement actions from the Department of Justice, formal complaints filed with the Office for Civil Rights, and costly litigation. Federal courts have consistently awarded significant damages in web accessibility lawsuits, and non-compliant agencies may be required to pay plaintiff attorney fees in addition to remediation costs.
Citizen Access
Approximately 1 in 4 adults in the United States lives with a disability. When government websites and PDF documents are not accessible, these citizens cannot access critical public services, forms, announcements, and information they are entitled to. Accessible digital services are not optional—they are a civil rights obligation and a public trust responsibility.
Cost of Inaction
Reactive remediation after a complaint or lawsuit can cost 5–10x more than proactive compliance. Settlement agreements typically include mandatory ongoing monitoring requirements, third-party audits, and public reporting—all at the agency's expense. Addressing accessibility now is significantly more cost-effective than defending non-compliance later.
