Georgia SM-19-002 Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance

Georgia doesn't just recommend accessibility — the state's GTA Standard SM-19-002 mandates WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, regular audits, and a nine-month remediation window for anything that fails. Add the federal ADA Title II deadline on top of that, and Georgia agencies are facing real accountability. CASO Comply automates the document piece so you can focus on the rest.

What Georgia Already Requires

Georgia has one of the more detailed state accessibility standards in the country — mandatory audits, remediation timelines, and procurement rules. CASO Comply handles the document side at scale.

GTA Standard SM-19-002

Georgia's enterprise Digital Accessibility Standard requires all state digital properties — websites, web apps, and online documents — to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Mandatory 36-Month Accessibility Audits

Every Georgia state agency must perform an accessibility audit on all digital properties at least once every 36 months. The first audit must be a detailed manual audit by an external vendor.

9-Month Remediation Window

Errors identified during accessibility audits must be remediated within nine months. That includes inaccessible PDFs, forms, and other documents posted on agency websites.

Procurement Accessibility Requirements

All solicitations and contracts for digital properties must include accessibility requirements to ensure vendors deliver WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant content from the start.

The Federal Clock Georgia Is Following

The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule says “web content” includes documents posted on the site — which is why public-facing PDFs that are still in use are in scope.

Deadline Passed

Why Georgia Entities Choose CASO Comply

Pass Your GTA Accessibility Audit

Georgia's SM-19-002 requires audits every 36 months, and the first one has to be conducted by an outside vendor. CASO Comply remediates your document backlog before the auditor arrives, so your PDFs aren't the reason you fail.

Hit the 9-Month Remediation Deadline

Once an audit flags inaccessible documents, Georgia gives agencies nine months to fix them. Manual remediation at that pace is nearly impossible for large document libraries. CASO Comply processes thousands of PDFs per day so you clear the backlog well within the window.

No Accessibility Expertise Required

Most Georgia agencies don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply handles structure tagging, alt text, reading order, and metadata automatically — so your team can meet SM-19-002 and the federal ADA deadline without hiring consultants.
