This bill addresses a long-standing debate over 'predatory' ADA litigation. Many business owners argue that some lawyers file hundreds of lawsuits over minor technical violations—like a mirror being hung two inches too high—just to collect settlement money rather than actually improving access. If this becomes law, it could save businesses significant money on legal settlements and encourage them to spend that money on actual renovations instead.

However, disability rights advocates worry that this change shifts the burden of law enforcement onto the person with a disability. Under current law, the threat of an immediate lawsuit is what motivates businesses to be proactive about accessibility. Critics argue that if this bill passes, businesses will simply wait until they get a 'notice' letter to fix anything, effectively meaning they only follow the law when they get caught.
