January 2018 - The 115th Congress has passed the Connected Government Act [H.R. 2331] to increase mobile access to federal websites. Many people rely on their smartphones and other devices to connect to federal websites for vital information. The H.R. 2331 would require federal agencies to ensure that websites intended for public use are mobile friendly to increase ease of use when opened on smartphones, tablets and, other mobile devices. This bipartisan piece of legislation codifies an existing 2016 memorandum from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. The intended impact of this legislation is to increase public engagement of federal agencies’ websites and information. Source: U.S. Congress
