HR 8930 United States House · 118th Congress

Accessibility Constituent Communication Act of 2024

This bill requires U.S. government agencies to provide all public communications (like benefit information or service materials) in accessible formats - such as Braille, large print, audio, or accessible PDFs - for blind or visually impaired recipients. It directly affects agencies administering benefits (e.g., Social Security, housing assistance, or food aid) that distribute materials to the public. Agencies must distribute these accessible versions via mail or secure digital channels, coordinated with standard formats, and are shielded from ADA liability for compliance. The law aims to ensure equal access to government communications for people with vision disabilities.
