Requires people to report website accessibility issues to businesses and the government before suing.
This bill would change how people can sue businesses over inaccessible websites and mobile apps. Instead of going straight to court, individuals would first have to tell the business about the problem and then file a complaint with the Department of Justice. This new process would add several steps and waiting periods before a lawsuit could be filed, and could prevent a lawsuit if the government finds the business compliant or doesn't act.
Today, individuals can directly file civil lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if a business's consumer-facing website or mobile application is not accessible. This bill would change that by requiring individuals to first notify the business about the accessibility issue and give them 180 days to fix it. If the issue isn't resolved, the individual would then need to file a complaint with the Department of Justice, which would have up to 360 days to investigate. If the Department of Justice determines the website or app is compliant, or if it doesn't make a decision within 360 days, the individual would not be able to file a civil lawsuit based on that complaint.
