The bill would expand ADA coverage to improve online accessibility for people with disabilities, but it would also impose compliance costs and greater litigation risk on businesses operating consumer-facing websites and apps.
People with disabilities would gain clearer ADA coverage for consumer-facing websites and mobile apps, improving digital access and equal participation online once the bill's new title is filled in.

Inserts a new ADA title addressing private consumer-facing websites and mobile apps, but the excerpt contains no substantive rules.
Official title: To amend the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 to require exhaustion of administrative remedies for certain claims, and for other purposes.
Introduced February 3, 2026 by Samuel Graves · Last progress February 3, 2026
Creates a new title within the Americans with Disabilities Act aimed at addressing private, consumer-facing websites and mobile apps and is framed to protect small businesses from lawsuits related to website accessibility. The text provided only inserts the new title but does not include any definitions, rules, enforcement mechanisms, remedies, timelines, or funding, so the substantive effect depends on future or omitted statutory language.
