Looks like the DOJ is delaying the #ADA #Title2 implementation by a year. Pre-published rule here, to be formally published on the 20th: https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2026-07663/extension-of-compliance-dates-for-nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web

The posted PDF is untagged, of course. Here's a tagged version that passes CommonLook checks aside from some font embedding bits that I haven't learned how to fix yet: https://michaelhans.com/eclecticism/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-07663-TAGGED.pdf (845 KB .pdf)

For #newmexico, block grants instead of #title1, #title2, and #title3 funding would cripple our state’s ability to #educate #students with the highest needs - indeed any New Mexican child. Rich states get richer, #poor states get poorer. If #schoolchoice really was about what’s best for kids, why is there never talk of negotiating #privateschool #tuition down from being at least 3x the per capita allocation of #publicschool? https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/a-bill-to-kill-the-education-department-is-already-filed-heres-what-it-says/2024/11
A Bill to Kill the Education Department Is Already Filed. Here's What It Says

The bill represents another attempt at a long-term Republican goal.

On a webinar last week about new US Title 2 regulations, & someone asked in chat 'what if the Trump admin just rolls them back?'

Presenter just looked suddenly exhausted. 'They can't.' Meaning, they can, but it would be more work & in less time than THEY would be willing to do.

They can ignore Title 2, but even then, if it's still on the books, YOU can enforce it yourself, through lawsuit.

At least, until some federal court finds you can't, but until then we can fight.
