Congressman Sam Graves introduced the Protecting Small Businesses from Predatory Website Lawsuits Act.
The bill aims to protect small businesses from ADA-related lawsuits that target non-compliant websites.
It addresses the issue of predatory legal practices where attorneys demand settlements from businesses for alleged ADA violations without allowing time for correction.
The legislation amends the ADA to require that businesses be given notice and 180 days to fix website accessibility issues before a lawsuit can be filed.
Graves emphasized that the bill is meant to prevent exploitation of small businesses and support their ability to comply without facing immediate legal action.
