On April 20, 2026, the Department of Justice published an Interim Final Rule extending both compliance deadlines for the 2024 Title II web accessibility rule by one year. State and local government entities with a total population of 50,000 or more, which faced a deadline of April 24, 2026, now have until April 26, 2027. Smaller public entities and special district governments, which had until April 26, 2027, now have until April 26, 2028.

This means that all your GIS applications and PDF maps do not have to be compliant until next year. If you have been working diligently to get everything together by the deadline, you now have a reprieve!
