The discussion focused on new federal accessibility requirements mandated by the Department of Justice, which require all digital content including websites, mobile applications, and social media platforms to be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities. City staff provided an overview of the compliance efforts, the timeline for implementation, and the limited scope of exceptions such as archived materials. The potential consequences for non-compliance, including Department of Justice enforcement actions and the risk of litigation for compensatory damages and attorney fees, were also highlighted.
