New Biden rule would make government websites and apps more accessible to people with disabilities

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is proposing new regulations to make state and local government websites and apps for services like libraries, parking, transit and court records more accessible for people with disabilities. Examples of improving accessibility include providing text descriptions for photos for the visually impaired who use screen readers and captioning for government videos. The new proposal was announced Tuesday, ahead of Wednesday’s 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
