West Virginia accessibility law

Federal law — the ADA

Both Title II (state and local government) and Title III (public accommodations) of the ADA apply in West Virginia. Web accessibility is enforced under both, with conformance benchmarked against the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) — currently version 2.2 Level AA in most contexts, version 2.1 AA in the DOJ Title II final rule.
