Kentucky AIT Act Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance

Kentucky passed its Accessible Information Technology Act back in 2000 — one of the earlier states to put IT accessibility into law. KRS 61.980 through 61.988 covers state agencies, schools, universities, and even nonprofits receiving state funds. With the federal ADA Title II deadline now in effect, the Commonwealth's entities need to get their public-facing documents compliant. CASO Comply automates that at scale.

What Kentucky Already Requires

Kentucky's AIT Act has been on the books for over two decades, covering everything from state agencies to schools to local governments. CASO Comply automates the document remediation piece.

Kentucky AIT Act (KRS 61.980–61.988)

Kentucky's Accessible Information Technology Act, passed in 2000, requires all state and state-assisted organizations to ensure IT access equivalent to that provided to individuals without disabilities.

Broad Institutional Coverage

The AIT Act reaches beyond state agencies to include school districts, universities, nonprofits, and city and county governments — any entity receiving state funds must comply.

Technology Access Clause in Contracts

All contracts for IT procurement entered into after July 14, 2000 must include a technology access clause requiring conformance with Section 255 and Section 508 standards.

Section 508 & WCAG 2.1 AA Alignment

Kentucky law defines compliance by reference to Section 508 and the Federal Telecommunications Act. The Commonwealth has adopted WCAG 2.1 as its current web accessibility standard.

The Federal Clock Kentucky 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

April 24, 2026

Kentucky agencies serving populations of 50,000 or more

This deadline has passed. Non-compliant agencies are now subject to enforcement.

Approaching

April 26, 2027

Approximately 13 months remain to achieve full compliance.
