Solutions for Ohio
Ohio IT-09 Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance
Ohio rolled out State Policy IT-09 in January 2025, requiring every agency under the Governor to make websites and apps WCAG 2.1 AA compliant. Now the federal ADA Title II deadline is reinforcing that with enforceable dates. For Ohio agencies, anything public-facing — including PDFs — needs to be accessible. CASO Comply fixes those documents at scale instead of doing them one by one.
What Ohio Already Requires
Ohio's IT-09 policy already tells agencies to make digital content accessible — and requires accessibility statements on every homepage. CASO Comply just does the remediation at scale.
Ohio Administrative Policy IT-09
Effective January 10, 2025, this policy requires all state agencies, boards, and commissions under the Governor to make public websites and mobile apps WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA compliant.
Ohio DAS Digital Accessibility Plan
The Ohio Department of Administrative Services mandates accessibility statements on all agency homepages and requires third-party vendor compliance with the same accessibility standards.
Ohio Revised Code 125.18 — IT Procurement
Requires state agencies to consider accessibility when procuring information technology products and services, ensuring that new systems meet accessibility standards from the start.
ADA Title II — Federal Overlay
On top of Ohio's own IT-09 policy, the DOJ's ADA Title II web rule now sets hard deadlines for all state and local government web content, including PDFs and posted documents.
The Federal Clock Ohio 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.

Why Ohio Entities Choose CASO Comply
Meet IT-09 and ADA Title II Together
Ohio agencies face a double mandate — the state's own IT-09 policy and the federal ADA Title II deadline both require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. CASO Comply handles both in a single workflow, so you don't have to run two separate remediation projects.
Scale Across Counties, Cities, and School Districts
Ohio has 88 counties, hundreds of municipalities, and over 600 school districts — all with PDFs on their websites. CASO Comply processes thousands of documents per day so even large backlogs get cleared before the federal clock runs out.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most Ohio departments don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply applies the right structure, tags, and fixes automatically — so IT, Records, or Communications can meet the deadlines without hiring specialists.
