RULES, ELECTIONS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT relative to amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Regulations, as amended by the Title II Web and Mobile Accessibility Final Rule and including Subpart H requirements.

Summary

The Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee recommends that the City Attorney work with the City's code publisher(s) to implement revisions to the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Regulations, specifically the Web and Mobile Accessibility Final Rule. This process will allow for non-substantive, technical corrections to the LAMC, similar to how gender references were updated previously, without requiring a formal ordinance. The goal is to quickly address any issues with ADA compliance as technology evolves, with the new federal rule taking effect for cities of 50,000 or more on April 24, 2026.
