DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been updated to include specific standards for web and mobile accessibility. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) Level A and Level AA criteria will be required for Maryland State government-related websites and apps beginning April 24, 2026.

This means that not only DORS’ websites must meet those standards, but entities that subcontract with DORS to provide services to Marylanders must meet them as well. Under the revised ADA, DORS’ vendors will be required to have accessible websites, web content, and mobile apps (if applicable) beginning April 24, 2026.

For more information, see the Fact Sheet: New Rule on the Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps Provided by State and Local Governments

DORS will purchase services for persons served only from vendors that comply with federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination in employment or in the provision of public services, including Title VII of the Civil Rights act of 1964; Title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and Titles I, II and III of the ADA.
