Solutions for New Jersey
New Jersey Web Accessibility Act + ADA Title II Compliance
New Jersey already requires WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for public school websites under the Web Accessibility Act (A4856), and the state web accessibility policy covers executive branch agencies. Now the federal ADA Title II rule puts a hard deadline on all public entities. CASO Comply remediates PDFs and documents at scale so you can meet every requirement.
What New Jersey Already Requires
New Jersey has both a state-level web accessibility act for schools and executive branch web policies for agencies. The federal deadline covers everything the state laws don't.
New Jersey Web Accessibility Act (A4856)
Requires all public school websites and web services — including those of school districts, charter schools, and renaissance schools — to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Effective July 1, 2022, with biennial recertification through the Department of Education.
NJ State Web Accessibility Policy
New Jersey's executive branch web accessibility policy requires all state agency websites and web services to be accessible to citizens with disabilities, aligning with WCAG standards for all public-facing digital content.
NJ Office of Information Technology Standards
The state OIT sets procurement and development standards requiring WCAG compliance for all new and updated web properties, ensuring accessibility is built into state digital services from the start.
A4856 Certification of Compliance
The Department of Education's Office of Information Technology issues certificates of compliance for school websites and recertifies every two years — creating an ongoing accountability mechanism for educational accessibility.
The Federal Clock New Jersey Is On
The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule defines “web content” to include documents posted on public websites — which puts PDFs squarely in scope for every New Jersey public entity.

Why New Jersey Entities Choose CASO Comply
A4856 Already Requires School Compliance
New Jersey is one of the few states with a specific law mandating web accessibility for public schools — and it requires biennial recertification. School districts need their PDFs, syllabi, parent communications, and board documents to pass WCAG 2.1 AA. CASO Comply makes that achievable without hiring accessibility consultants.
Densely Populated, Document-Heavy State
New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country, with over 560 municipalities and nearly 700 school districts. That means a massive volume of public-facing PDFs across government and education. CASO Comply processes thousands of documents per day so even the largest districts and agencies can clear their backlogs.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most New Jersey agencies, municipalities, and school districts don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply applies the right structure tags, alt text, and reading order fixes automatically — so IT staff or administrative teams can produce compliant documents without specialized training.
