[CATO] More accessibility legislation proposed

[Hanscom, Michael]

Good morning all!

I haven't really dove into this much, but thought you all might want to be aware: Senators Duckworth, Sarbanes, and Sessions have introduced a new Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act<https://www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-releases/duckworth-sarbanes-sessions-reintroduce-bicameral-bipartisan-legislation-to-help-make-websites-and-software-applications-accessible-for-americans-with-disabilities> bill. No idea how (if) it dovetails with the current ADA NPRM that we've been discussing, or when/if it might get adopted, since it's just been announced. Possibly worth keeping an eye on, though.
