Staying on top of records management and compliance requirements can be challenging as technology and regulations continue to evolve. Below are two important updates from OhioERC to help you stay organized and informed:
1. NEW OhioERC Online Training Module – File Naming Conventions.
In an era of digital overload, individuals and organizations are generating thousands of documents, images and datasets every day. Without a clear system in place, finding the right file can quickly turn into a frustrating and time-consuming task.
A file naming convention provides a standardized framework that can help bring structure and consistency to your digital environment. To support this effort, OhioERC has developed a short, practical online training module designed to help you take control of your electronic files. The module walks you through templates, strategies and best practices you can start using immediately.

2. DOJ extends web accessibility compliance deadlines.
The U.S. Department of Justice has issued an interim rule extending the compliance deadlines for ADA website and mobile app accessibility requirements for state and local governments. Jurisdictions with populations of 50,000 or more now have until April 26, 2027, while smaller jurisdictions have until April 26, 2028 to comply. The interim rule appears in the Federal Register and is effective April 20, 2026.
As a reminder, OhioERC has previously covered the ADA Title II Web and Mobile Application Accessibility Rule (see here and here). Other than extending the compliance deadlines, the interim rule does not alter any other provisions of the 2024 final rule.
