Solutions for Colorado
Colorado HB 21-1110 + ADA Title II Compliance
Colorado set the standard as the first state to require both state and local government digital platforms to meet WCAG 2.1 AA — including documents, not just websites. HB 21-1110 carries $3,500 per-violation fines, and the federal ADA Title II rule adds another layer of enforcement. CASO Comply remediates your PDFs and documents at scale so you can meet both requirements.
What Colorado Already Requires
Colorado's HB 21-1110 is one of the most comprehensive state digital accessibility laws in the country — covering state and local government, K-12 schools, and universities.
House Bill 21-1110 (HB 21-1110)
Colorado was the first state to mandate that both state and local government websites meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Passed in 2021, HB 21-1110 covers websites, mobile apps, documents, videos, kiosks, and third-party integrations.
HB 24-1454 (Grace Period Extension)
A follow-up bill allowing qualifying organizations to extend their HB 21-1110 compliance deadline by one year to July 1, 2025 — provided they submitted accessibility planning documents and demonstrated progress.
Colorado OIT Oversight & Accessibility Plans
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) oversees HB 21-1110 enforcement. Government entities must develop comprehensive accessibility plans and submit them to OIT for review and approval.
$3,500 Per-Violation Penalty
Organizations that fail to meet HB 21-1110 requirements face a $3,500 statutory fine for each violation, payable to each affected individual — making non-compliance financially risky at scale.
The Federal Clock Colorado 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.

Why Colorado Entities Choose CASO Comply
Clear the PDF Backlog Fast
Colorado's HB 21-1110 covers documents — not just websites. That means every PDF posted by a city, county, school district, or state agency is in scope. With $3,500 per-violation fines, the financial exposure from a backlog of inaccessible documents adds up fast. CASO Comply automates remediation so you can close that gap before it becomes a liability.
Stay Compliant on Every New Upload
HB 21-1110 doesn't just apply to what's already posted — it covers new content too. CASO Comply gives Colorado entities a repeatable process to make every new document accessible at the point of publishing, so you don't rack up new violations while fixing old ones.

Most Colorado municipalities and school districts don't have WCAG specialists on staff. CASO Comply applies the right structure tags, alt text, reading order, and metadata automatically — so your team can satisfy both HB 21-1110 and ADA Title II requirements without hiring accessibility consultants.
