SB 84: Disability access: construction-related accessibility claims: notice of violation and opportunity to correct.
This bill aims to improve construction-related accessibility claims by introducing new requirements for defendants. A defendant with 50 or fewer employees can only face statutory damages for accessibility claims if they have been served with a notice of alleged violations and have not corrected them within 120 days. The bill also prohibits defendants from being liable for statutory damages, attorney's fees, or costs if the alleged violation is corrected within the 120-day time frame. Additionally, the bill clarifies that plaintiffs cannot avoid the notice and opportunity to correct provisions and liability limitations by claiming they are seeking general discrimination damages based on a violation of physical accessibility standards.
