Solutions for Utah
Utah IT Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance
Utah has had accessibility requirements on the books since the Technology Governance Act took effect in 2021, and the state's design system already includes an accessibility checklist. Now the federal ADA Title II rule is putting a hard date on it. For Utah agencies, that means every public-facing PDF needs to be accessible by April 24, 2026. CASO Comply remediates them at scale so you don't have to do it one by one.
What Utah Already Requires
Utah's Technology Governance Act directs the state CIO to set accessibility standards for all government IT. The federal deadline just makes it non-optional. CASO Comply handles the document side at scale.
Utah Technology Governance Act (Utah Code 63A-16)
Effective July 1, 2021, this act requires the state CIO to establish standards for accessibility of information technology by individuals with disabilities, covering websites, software, and digital systems used by state agencies.
Utah.gov Design System Accessibility Standards
The State of Utah has adopted a statewide design system that includes an accessibility standards checklist, requiring all state websites and applications to be accessible to all users.
Utah Division of Technology Services (DTS) Policies
DTS sets enterprise IT policies that align with WCAG guidelines, directing state agencies to build and maintain accessible digital content including PDFs and published documents.
Federal ADA Title II (Applies to All Utah Public Entities)
The DOJ's 2024 ADA Title II web rule requires all Utah state and local government web content — including PDFs — to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 2026 or 2027 depending on population served.
The Federal Clock Utah Is On
The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule treats posted documents as “web content” — so every public-facing PDF that's still in use counts.

Why Utah Entities Choose CASO Comply
Clear the PDF Backlog Fast
Utah agencies have years of PDFs across their sites — from DTS policy documents to local school district handbooks. Manual remediation can't keep up with the volume. CASO Comply automates tagging, alt text, and reading order fixes so you can clear the backlog without pulling staff from other projects.
Stay Compliant on Every New Upload
Utah's design system standards set the bar, but new documents go up every day. CASO Comply catches new PDFs as they're published and makes them accessible at the point of upload, so your compliance posture doesn't drift.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most Utah agencies don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply handles the technical details — structure tagging, metadata, reading order — so your IT or communications team can meet both the state and federal deadlines without hiring specialists.
