Who Enforces ADA Compliance?

Who enforces ADA compliance? Well, it's a little complicated because it depends on which part or title of the ADA applies to your business. Title I of the ADA, which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and employment settings, is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Title II and III of the ADA are enforced by the Department of Justice.

They ensure people with disabilities have equal access to government services and places of public accommodation, including websites and digital content. A key thing to note. Federal enforcement is only part of ADA compliance. Under Title III, individuals can also file lawsuits directly against businesses. This is actually where most lawsuits originate. If you're worried about whether or not your organization is compliant with the ADA, an accessibility scan is a perfect starting point.
