Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that businesses and nonprofit services providers make accessibility accommodations to enable the disabled public to access the same services as clients who are not disabled. This apples to companies with 15 or more employees and also includes electronic media and web sites.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has been promising to revisit Title II and Title III of the ADA to provide more clarity on how it applies to the internet. The NPRM was originally scheduled for 2013, but it has been delayed repeatedly. It has been determined that it will be addressed in 2018 and the DOJ will issue an official ruling on how the ADA applies to private, online businesses.
