The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced a one-year extension for state and local government compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) web-based accessibility requirements - a significant win for counties. Join NACo for a webinar breaking down what the new Interim Final Rule means for your county, including updated compliance deadlines, cost-reduction guidance and practical next steps for implementation.
Whether your county was approaching the April 2026 deadline or planning ahead for 2027, this webinar will give you the clarity and tools needed to move forward confidently. NACo policy staff will walk through the rulemaking, answer your questions and outline how NACo will continue advocating on this issue on behalf of counties.
