Colorado State Digital Accessibility Requirements
HB21-1110 requires state and local agencies to remove any digital accessibility barriers or face legal repercussions at the state level.
HB21-1110 required the Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology to develop standards by which to measure digital accessibility. They developed 8 CCR 1501-11 Rules Establishing Technology Accessibility Standards, which adopts W3C WCAG 2.1 conformance levels A and AA as the standard for legal compliance with HB21-1110.
Violators could face injunctive relief in the form of a court order to fix the inaccessible website, possible monetary damages, or a fine of $3500 payable to the plaintiff.
Public Accommodation Laws
Prohibited discriminatory practices in places of public accommodation include denial of service, terms and conditions, unequal treatment, failure to accommodate, and retaliation based on certain protected classes including disability.
