A bipartisan bill to require new federal government websites to be mobile-friendly is headed to the White House for signing.

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, a Yuma Republican, and Sen. Maggie Hassan, a Democrat from New Hampshire, jointly sponsored The Connected Government Act, S 1769. The measure unanimously passed the Senate Dec. 21.

The House version, H. 2331, sponsored by Democratic Reps. Robin Kelly of Illinois and Frank Pallone of New Jersey, unanimously passed the House in November.

The bill would put into law an executive order issued by President Barack Obama in November 2016 that “all new or redesigned federal websites must allow for access by mobile devices.”

According to November statement by Kelly, an Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) report said that more than 40 percent of government websites are not mobile-friendly. That includes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and “the launch point for bidding on government contracts.”

The Gardner-Hassan bill is intended to expand access to government services and information by requiring all new federal websites to be mobile-friendly, according to a Gardner statement Friday. The Connected Government Act will “support low-income Americans who rely on mobile broadband at higher rates, as well as the 80 percent of Americans who experience disabilities who use wireless technology every day,” the statement said.

An October estimate from the Congressional Budget Office said the bill will have no fiscal impact.

“I am thrilled that this common-sense piece of bipartisan legislation has passed the Senate and is on its way to the President’s desk,” Gardner said in the Friday statement. “As more and more Americans rely on their mobile devices to access information and websites, it’s important the federal government has websites designed for mobile platforms. The Connected Government Act will promote transparency and bring the government into the 21st century.”

Hassan urged the president to sign the bill as soon as possible so that low-income and/or disabled citizens “can access government services, resources, and information to help them succeed.”
