Bill overview
This bill changes how construction-related accessibility claims are handled in California. It requires that a lawsuit for damages be initiated only after a construction company receives a written notice detailing specific accessibility violations and has 120 days to correct them. Additionally, the bill provides a protection for small businesses (50 or fewer employees) who promptly correct violations, potentially reducing or eliminating liability for statutory damages, and prohibits plaintiffs from claiming general discrimination damages if the issue is a failure to comply with physical accessibility standards.
