Solutions for Tennessee

Tennessee Digital Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance

Tennessee doesn't have a standalone digital accessibility statute, but that doesn't mean agencies are off the hook. The federal ADA Title II web rule applies to every state and local government entity, and Tennessee's STS division is already assessing where improvements are needed. For public-facing PDFs, CASO Comply automates remediation at scale so your agency can meet the federal deadline without scrambling.

What Tennessee Already Requires

While Tennessee lacks a dedicated digital accessibility law, the state's STS enterprise policies and TTAP program both push toward accessible technology. The federal ADA Title II rule now puts hard deadlines on it.

STS Enterprise IT Policies

Tennessee's Strategic Technology Solutions division, under the Department of Finance and Administration, sets enterprise policies and standards for all state agency information technology, including accessibility requirements for public-facing websites and applications.

ISC Information Resources Policies

The Information Systems Council authorizes STS to establish and enforce policies covering any computing platform attached to the state's enterprise network, including accessibility standards for digital content.

Tennessee Technology Access Program (TTAP)

TTAP is a statewide program under the Department of Human Services that promotes technology accessibility for people with disabilities, partnering with regional assistive technology centers across every region of the state.

ADA Title II — Federal Mandate

While Tennessee doesn't have a standalone digital accessibility statute, the ADA and Rehabilitation Act require all executive branch agencies to ensure communications with people with disabilities are as effective as those with others — and the DOJ's 2024 rule now sets hard deadlines.

The Federal Clock Tennessee 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

Tennessee agencies serving populations of 50,000 or more

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

Approaching

Smaller Tennessee entities and special districts serving populations under 50,000

Approximately 13 months remain to achieve full compliance.

Why Tennessee Entities Choose CASO Comply

The Federal Deadline Doesn't Wait for State Law

Tennessee doesn't have its own digital accessibility statute, but the federal ADA Title II rule doesn't care — the April 2026 deadline applies to every state and local government entity regardless. CASO Comply helps Tennessee agencies get compliant before enforcement begins.

Scale Across 95 Counties and Hundreds of Cities

Tennessee has 95 counties, over 340 municipalities, and nearly 150 school districts — all publishing PDFs on their websites. CASO Comply processes thousands of documents per day so even large backlogs get cleared on time.

No Accessibility Expertise Required

Most Tennessee departments don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. STS is actively assessing where opportunities to improve exist. CASO Comply applies the right structure, tags, and fixes automatically — so your team can meet the federal deadline without hiring specialists.
