Americans with Disabilities Notification Act

This bill would change how individuals file lawsuits regarding accessibility violations at businesses and public facilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It would require a person to provide a business with a formal written notice of a specific violation and then wait 90 days before they could file a lawsuit in court. This 90-day "notice and cure" period is intended to give property owners the opportunity to fix the accessibility issue before facing legal action.

For citizens, this means that an individual could not immediately sue a business for an ADA violation; instead, they would have to document the specific date and location of the problem and notify the owner via registered mail or in person. If a lawsuit is filed without following these steps or before the 90-day window expires, the court would be required to sanction the plaintiff’s attorney, and the plaintiff would be barred from recovering legal fees or court costs. The bill's primary impact is to shift the initial focus from litigation to a notification process aimed at correcting physical barriers.
