What’s happening with Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act of 2025?
The effort to mandate digital accessibility is represented by H.R. 3417 in the House and S. 3974 in the Senate. The House committees on Education and Workforce and the Judiciary must take action to move the bill forward, but no progress has occurred since May 13, 2025. Historical data shows that most bills fail to receive a committee vote, and the vast majority of legislative proposals end due to this type of committee inaction.
