Public agencies and schools
For cities, counties, school districts, libraries and special districts. We test your website, your documents and the tools you buy against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard the rule requires, and tell you what to fix first.

Colorado
Colorado's HB21-1110 has applied since July 1, 2025, after a one-year grace period. It covers state agencies, local governments, school districts and special districts, and the federal delay doesn't change it.
There is no central enforcement agency. A person with a disability can sue, and the law allows $3,500 per violation. SiteAligned's founder ran a Colorado agency's accessibility program under this law, so we know what the state's rules ask for in practice.

The federal rule has a few exceptions, such as archived content. Ask your attorney which apply to you.

You get a plain-language findings report like our sample report: what is wrong, where, who it affects and how to fix it.
You can, but the work takes longer than most teams expect, especially documents. In Colorado the state law applies now. And people can still file complaints under the ADA regardless of the rule's dates.
The rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA. We test to WCAG 2.2 AA, which includes everything in 2.1, and give you a separate 2.1 AA summary that maps to the rule.
No. Overlays don't fix the underlying code, and many disabled users find them harder to use. We don't sell or recommend them.
Yes, documents you post are covered, with some exceptions for older documents. We include a sample of your most-used documents in every audit.
Yes. A Vendor ACR Review tests a vendor's claims against their actual product. You can also ask vendors for a current ACR before you sign or renew.
No. We test against the standard and report what we find. For legal questions about the ADA or HB21-1110, talk to your attorney.
