ScanplyanceThe DOJ Title II web & mobile app rule
A plain-language overview for public agencies. This is general information, not legal advice.
What the rule requires
The U.S. Department of Justice's Title II rule requires state and local government web content and mobile apps to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. It applies to public entities and the online services they provide to residents.

Departments, libraries, parks, police departments, courts, schools, and vendor-provided tools may still fall under the public entity's accessibility responsibilities.
What enforcement has emphasized
DOJ actions and settlement agreements have repeatedly focused on more than a one-time scan — identifying barriers, fixing high-impact issues, training staff, managing vendor content, providing feedback channels, and monitoring over time.
How Scanplyance helps
Scanplyance supports the monitoring piece of that broader program: recurring WCAG 2.1 AA scans, plain-English fixes, issue history, and a documented monitoring record your team and vendors can act on. Automated scanning is one part of compliance — not the whole job.
