Solutions for Florida
Section 508 & ADA Title II Compliance for Florida
Florida already has a state law on the books — Florida Statutes §282.602–282.603 — that says state agencies must develop, procure, maintain, and use accessible electronic information technology that conforms to Section 508. Florida's own agencies are already telling people that includes the PDFs and documents they post. With the DOJ's ADA Title II web rule, most Florida entities serving 50,000+ people will need their public-facing PDFs to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026. CASO Comply lets them fix those in minutes instead of doing them one by one.
What Florida Already Requires
Florida already tells agencies and districts: if you put PDFs on the site, they need to meet Section 508 and WCAG. CASO Comply lets you do that for hundreds or thousands at once.
Florida Statutes §282.602–282.603
Requires every state agency to develop, procure, maintain, and use accessible electronic information and information technology that conforms to Section 508. PDFs published by agencies are part of that EIT.
Florida DMS Accessibility Statement
The Department of Management Services states that all Florida State Government websites must comply with Section 508 — a statewide reminder this is not optional.
Florida Department of State — PDF Accessibility
Explicitly addresses the large number of documents in PDF format on the site and ties accessibility efforts to Section 508 and W3C guidelines — the cleanest Florida-native proof that PDFs are in scope.
Florida DOE Website Accessibility Protocol
Tells people to report barriers and DOE will fix them in 5 to 10 business days, including issues outside WCAG guidelines or Section 508 standards. A model for school districts statewide.
Florida Courts Accessibility Statements
The FL Supreme Court and circuit courts all state that Florida sites must comply with Section 508 and that content must be made available in alternative formats — including court PDFs.
The Federal Clock Florida Is Following
The DOJ's ADA Title II rule says “web content” includes documents posted on the site — that is exactly the PDFs on fl.gov, county sites, school portals, and college sites. Active PDFs are in scope; older archived content can be excepted until someone with a disability requests it.
Deadline Passed
April 24, 2026
Florida agencies, counties, and school districts serving populations of 50,000 or more
This deadline has passed. Non-compliant entities are now subject to enforcement.
Approaching
April 26, 2027
Smaller Florida jurisdictions, school districts, and special districts serving populations under 50,000
Approximately 13 months remain to achieve full compliance.
Why Florida Entities Choose CASO Comply
Clear the PDF Backlog Fast
Florida agencies, counties, school districts, colleges, and courts have years of PDFs online — agendas, minutes, policies, program guides, instructional materials, and HR forms. Manual remediation is too slow and too expensive. CASO Comply automates it so you can bring older, still-used PDFs into compliance without adding staff.
Stay Compliant on Every New Upload
Even if you clean up the old stuff, next week someone will post another PDF to fldoe.org, the county site, or the school portal. CASO Comply gives you a repeatable way to make new public-facing documents accessible at the point of publishing, so you don't drift out of compliance again.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most Florida entities don't have an internal WCAG or PDF/UA person. Florida points them to Section 508 and WCAG, and now the federal rule says WCAG 2.1 AA. CASO Comply bakes that in — tags, reading order, alt text — so IT, Communications, or the business office can meet the 2026 and 2027 dates without hiring specialists.
