This bill creates a new process for resolving claims that businesses or property owners have violated accessibility laws affecting people with disabilities. Before filing a lawsuit, the person claiming a violation must first notify the property owner in writing (by personal service or certified mail), or they won't be able to recover attorney's fees unless the court finds the violations were especially serious, willful, or long-lasting.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
