ACCESS Act

The ACCESS Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 241, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to improve access to government services for individuals with disabilities.

The bill aims to achieve this by requiring federal agencies to make their websites and online services accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes ensuring that websites are compatible with screen readers, have alternative text for images, and are navigable using only a keyboard.

Additionally, the ACCESS Act would require federal agencies to provide training to their employees on how to create and maintain accessible websites and online services. This training would help ensure that government services are accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities. Overall, the ACCESS Act seeks to promote inclusivity and equal access to government services for individuals with disabilities. By making federal websites and online services more accessible, this bill has the potential to greatly improve the lives of millions of Americans.
