Breaking news: The Justice Department has published a notice of proposed rulemaking under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This rule will provide a technical standard that state and local governments would have to follow to meet their web #a11y obligations.

It will only apply to public websites, but is an important step in achieving digital equality and could lay the foundation for private business web #accessibility rules in the future.
