This portal allows individuals to report websites that use prohibited CAPTCHA systems or block access to essential services. The Act ensures that everyone — including people with disabilities — can access the web without discriminatory verification barriers. Tip: After clicking "Send Report via Email", you should copy the form fields from this page and paste them directly into your email client without formatting. This ensures all details are included and allows your report exactly as you prefer. Unfortunately, automatic email generation with all the text and details is not working at the moment.
This is an example of a test email for the reports to show the formatting and template. Please note Cloudflare Turnstile is only required for form submission and the "Send Report via Email" button. If you're having tech difficulties, you can fill out the form normally, and write the report directly in an email without the links. Confirming with Turnstile is still encouraged just to be safe and protect this site against malicious, automated submissions. Malicious, automated reports are not permitted. Legitimate, legal, valid, benevolent automated submissions are allowed, but be warned that this can cause Cloudflare Turnstile to fail.

The Barrier‑Free Web Access Act is an accessibility‑focused framework created to eliminate traditional CAPTCHA systems that block people from accessing essential online services. Many websites still use image‑based puzzles, audio challenges, or distorted text that can be impossible for users with disabilities to complete.
This Act prohibits all traditional CAPTCHA systems and requires websites to use accessible, non‑interactive verification methods instead. These include passive systems such as device attestation, behavioral verification, Cloudflare Turnstile, and other methods that do not require the user to solve a challenge.
The goal of the Act is to ensure that everyone — including people with disabilities — can access essential online services without being blocked by inaccessible verification barriers.
Below is the full model legislative text.
This Act may be cited as the Barrier‑Free Web Access Act.
The purpose of this Act is to eliminate discriminatory, inaccessible, or malfunctioning verification systems that prevent individuals from accessing essential digital services.
Essential Services include healthcare, government, financial services, utilities, education, employment portals, and website hosting platforms.
Traditional CAPTCHA means any verification system requiring users to solve visual, auditory, or puzzle‑based tasks.
Passive Verification Systems include non‑interactive verification methods such as Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v3 (non‑interactive), device attestation, and behavioral verification.
Traditional CAPTCHA is prohibited in all contexts.
Only passive, transparent, non‑interactive verification systems may be used.
reCAPTCHA v2 is prohibited in all essential‑service contexts.
Standard, serious, and extreme violations are defined with corresponding penalties.
All organizations have the right to challenge allegations and present evidence.
Organizations are not liable for failures caused by third‑party interference.
This Act takes effect one year after enactment.
Please provide accurate information. False or malicious reports undermine accessibility efforts.
