Solutions for Alabama

Alabama Accessibility Standards + ADA Title II Compliance

Alabama's Standard 530S2 already requires state websites to meet accessibility baselines under Section 508, and the federal ADA Title II web rule is now adding a hard deadline. For Alabama agencies, that means every public-facing document — including PDFs — needs to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. CASO Comply remediates them automatically instead of one at a time.

What Alabama Already Requires

Alabama's OIT has had accessibility standards in place for over a decade. The federal deadline just makes enforcement concrete.

Standard 530S2-00: Universal Accessibility

Alabama's Office of Information Technology requires all Executive branch agency websites with alabama.gov or state.al.us domains to meet minimum online accessibility standards based on Section 508.

Alabama OIT Accessibility Standards

The Office of Information Technology oversees statewide IT policy, including requirements for alt text on non-text elements, descriptive link text, accessible forms, and cross-browser testing.

Section 508 Alignment

Alabama's state accessibility policy is built on Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, applying federal electronic and information resources standards to all state digital content including PDFs.

ADA Title II Federal Mandate

The DOJ's 2024 final rule requires all Alabama state and local government web content — including posted PDFs — to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA by the applicable deadline.

The Federal Clock Alabama Is On

The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule defines “web content” to include documents posted on government sites — meaning public-facing PDFs that are still in use are in scope.

Deadline Passed

Why Alabama Entities Choose CASO Comply

Clear the PDF Backlog Fast

Alabama agencies have years of PDFs posted across state sites — forms, reports, meeting minutes, policy documents. Manual remediation would take months and pull staff away from their real jobs. CASO Comply automates it so you can bring the backlog into compliance without hiring additional resources.

Stay Compliant on Every New Upload

Even after you clean up existing documents, new PDFs get posted every week across departments. CASO Comply gives Alabama agencies a repeatable process to make every new public-facing document accessible at the point of publishing, so you don't fall out of compliance again.

No Accessibility Expertise Required

Most Alabama county offices and state departments don't have WCAG specialists on staff. CASO Comply handles the technical requirements — structure tags, reading order, alt text, metadata — so IT or Records staff can meet both the state Standard 530S2 and federal ADA deadlines without specialized training.
