ACCESS Act of 2026.

The ACCESS Act of 2026 aims to improve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for public accommodations, affecting individuals with disabilities, business owners, and website/app developers. It directs the Department of Justice to create an education program on accessibility strategies for property and website owners. A key provision requires individuals to provide written notice of an architectural or technological access barrier and a 60-day period for the owner to address it before a civil lawsuit can be filed. Additionally, the bill mandates a study on various website accessibility standards and directs the Judicial Conference to develop a model mediation program for architectural barrier claims.
