Is Milliken's Website Ready for the ADA Title II Deadline?
Did you know the deadline already changed?
If your compliance calendar still shows the original date, it's out of date: on April 20, 2026 the DOJ issued an Interim Final Rule that moved every ADA Title II web deadline back one year. For Milliken, the operative date is now April 26, 2028. The public comment period closed June 22, 2026 — the deadline is set, and the clock is running.

What WCAG 2.1 Level AA means for town government websites
With 9,102 residents, Milliken falls under the DOJ's small-entity tier (under 50,000 population), which comes with the later of the two federal deadlines — but the same technical standard.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the technical standard the DOJ adopted for ADA Title II. In plain terms, it's a checklist that makes sure residents who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, or captions can actually use your website: text on every image, labels on every form field, enough color contrast to read, and video captions.
Smaller entities sometimes assume they're exempt. They aren't — the later deadline is the only accommodation the rule makes for size. Services like utility bill payment, permit applications, and public meeting agendas all need to work for residents with disabilities.
Milliken is a smaller community, and its website is the front door for utility bill payment, permit applications, and public meeting agendas. Under ADA Title II, that front door has to work for every resident.
