Information About the ADA (Make this a Subhead 2)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires you by law to be ADA compliant, which means that all the content on your website is accessible for people with disabilities. Your site is currently ADA compliant because CivicPlus designed it that way, but from here on out… it will be your responsibility to continue to stay ADA compliant. This is a work in progress. The government is always reviewing and updating and so is CivicPlus.
