Passing this on from the National Dem Disability Caucus Chairs Signal:

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to publish an Interim Final Rule (IFR) on April 20 that would delay web and mobile accessibility requirements for state and local governments under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Under this proposal, the compliance deadline for larger entities would move from April 2026 to April 2027, and for smaller entities from April 2027 to April 2028.

ACB strongly opposes the delay. Extending these deadlines denies timely access to essential government services and information, forcing people with disabilities to wait even longer for rights that should already be guaranteed.

ACB will be submitting formal comments in opposition, and we urge advocates and allies to speak out during the 60-day public comment period.

Information on the extension can be found at:

The Department of Justice has pushed the ADA Title II web and mobile compliance dates back by a full year. What changed, why it happened, and why disability advocates are furious.

Our Vice Chair Henry Johns for Kansas who is running for Kansas House District 5 will be all over house district 5 talking to people about affordability. If you're in the area attend one of his stops.

A pound of ground beef is now almost equal to the minimum hourly wage in Kansas.  We cannot continue to live this way. I will be all over House District 5 to hear from you. Please look for a time and place next week in your area and come have coffee. There’s a lot to talk about.
