Plain-English Summary

This bill would require websites and software applications to be designed so that people with disabilities—including those who are blind, deaf, or have mobility limitations—can use them effectively. It would establish accessibility standards that companies and organizations need to follow, similar to how physical buildings must have ramps and elevators for wheelchair users. The law would likely apply to most businesses and government agencies that operate online, making digital services accessible to millions of Americans with disabilities.
