Sacramento, CA-- Congressman Dan Lungren has introduced a bill to discourage ADA lawsuits and provide better access for the disabled.
H.R 3356, otherwise known as the ACCESS Act, will make it easier for business owner/operators to stay open and still perform Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) code upgrades.
"Too often these lawsuits are filed and the accuser takes the settlement money and moves on down the road," said Lungren. "Access for the disabled does not get fixed because the business owner has spent his money on the lawsuit. The business owner loses out and disabled Americans still can't patronize the place. Only the pockets of the one bringing the suit are enriched."
Joining him in support of the bill are the National Federation of Independent Businesses and California Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse.
Dan Lungren's 3rd Congressional District includes Calaveras County.
