1. Memo - ADA Web Content Compliance - 4903-4596-8020.2

General Pension Board Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The City of Kissimmee General Pension Board is reviewing a new federal rule regarding the accessibility of web content and mobile applications for people with disabilities. This rule, based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requires public entities, including pension plans, to ensure their online materials meet specific standards. The compliance deadline depends on the local government's population size, with deadlines in April 2026 or April 2027. The project involves updating websites and mobile apps to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1, Level AA, or providing a conforming alternate version of the content. This review stage means that planning for compliance is underway. Businesses specializing in web development, accessibility consulting, and digital content creation can explore opportunities to assist with these updates. Early engagement could provide an advantage as the board plans its approach to meeting these new requirements.
