Technology Accessibility Statement

Committed to providing equitable access to all Coloradans

The Colorado Department of Law (“DOL”) is committed to providing equitable access to our services to all Coloradoans. Our ongoing technology accessibility efforts rely on the technical standards provided by:

  • 8 CCR 1501-11 Rules Establishing Technology Accessibility Standards
  • World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA or higher
  • Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Chapter 4
  • Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act

In addition to striving to meet WCAG 2.1, A and AA, the DOL is committed to removing digital accessibility barriers by utilizing conforming alternate versions and providing reasonable modifications or accommodations, when requested.

This website is part of the DOL’s efforts towards making its content and services accessible.

In addition, in accordance with 8 CCR 1501-11, Rule 11.5, the DOL is publishing the below Accessibility Plan which shows evidence of the DOL’s good-faith progress towards removing accessibility barriers across its inventory of information communication technology (“ICT”) in active use. The Accessibility Plan will be updated annually.

The following Progress-To-Date Reports demonstrate concrete and specific efforts toward compliance.

Accessibility Feedback

We are committed to making our digital content and services as digitally accessible and inclusive as possible. We welcome comments on how to improve this website’s accessibility for users with disabilities. If you have any suggestions or notice any barriers to digital accessibility, please share your feedback with us at Accessibility@coag.gov.

Accommodation or Modification Requests for the Public

The DOL is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equal access to its programs, services, and activities and will work with individuals with disabilities towards identifying reasonable modifications to do so. We encourage individuals with disabilities to contact us to request reasonable modifications to public-facing content. Please contact us by email or phone.

Please include as much detail as possible regarding your accessibility issue, including:

  • The nature of the request;
  • The URL (web address) of the page or pages in question;
  • The specific information sought; and
  • Your contact information.

Examples of reasonable accommodations/modifications may include remediated digital content or alternative formats. We may not have the ability to provide accommodations or modifications for certain webpages/documents on this website controlled by a third-party source.

Important information about accommodations/modifications requests

All requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and when inaccessible content is identified or a modification/accommodation is requested, the DOL will respond within a reasonable time given the individual circumstances including any applicable deadlines or other considerations.

  • Reasonable accommodations/modifications are provided at no cost.
  • Reasonable accommodations/modifications requests that would impose an undue burden to the DOL or which may fundamentally alter the nature of the DOL’s program, services, or activities may not be fulfilled as requested. However, in such circumstance, the DOL will work to identify alternative methods for access that do pose an undue burden or fundamental alteration.

Accommodation Requests in the Workplace

Current employees needing workplace accommodations should contact the ADA Coordinator for support. Information for contacting the ADA Coordinator is available through the DOL SharePoint site.

Prospective employees who require an accommodation should contact the hiring manager or human resources employee identified in the job-posting.

How We Test Our Websites

The DOL relies on both automated and manual digital accessibility and quality testing processes. Automated tests are validated and addressed by the DOL Digital Accessibility Team as necessary. Below are examples of tools used to help identify and improve accessibility of our website:

  •  Automated evaluation with Siteimprove.
  •  On-demand evaluation with Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool – WAVE by WebAIM (opens in new tab).
  •  Human-led content reviews.
  •  Human-led testing with screen readers and keyboards.
