Hi Folks - ran across this news and thought i'd share for awareness.
The full announcement is here: https://www.section508.gov/node/304. I think these quotes summarize:
"This Section 508 Refresh aligns the US Government’s Section 508 requirements with the prevailing international accessibility Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0). Other countries and industries are already aligned to WCAG 2.0, and this update ensures that the United States is using the prevailing international standards for accessibility."
"The rule will take effect in one year, providing adequate time to smoothly transition to the new standards. "
