Solutions for South Dakota
South Dakota Web Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance
South Dakota's Bureau of Information and Telecommunications already requires state sites to meet WCAG and Section 508 standards. Now the federal ADA Title II rule adds enforceable deadlines for all state and local government web content — including PDFs. For South Dakota agencies running lean, CASO Comply automates document remediation so you can meet the deadlines without adding staff.
What South Dakota Already Requires
South Dakota follows federal WCAG and Section 508 standards through its BIT accessibility policy. The federal ADA Title II rule now adds hard deadlines. CASO Comply automates compliance at scale.
BIT Online Accessibility Policy
The South Dakota Bureau of Information and Telecommunications sets web development and design standards to provide an accessible web presence, ensuring the public has full access to government information and services.
WCAG & Section 508 Compliance
All newly built South Dakota state sites must meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and federal Section 508 standards. BIT enforces these requirements as part of the state's web development process.
South Dakota Nondiscrimination Law
No person can be denied the right to full and equal use of any public accommodation or public service in South Dakota because of disability — a principle that extends to digital government services.
ADA Title II — Federal Overlay
While South Dakota relies primarily on federal standards rather than a standalone state digital accessibility law, the DOJ's ADA Title II web rule now sets hard deadlines for all state and local government web content, including PDFs.
The Federal Clock South Dakota 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.
