Small businesses in California are struggling under high taxes, regulatory challenges, and aggressive tactics from trial attorneys. These attorneys commonly leverage the Americans With Disabilities Act to pursue quick settlements for businesses unaware of their non-compliance with ADA regulations. While small business owners generally support accessibility, the prevalence of legal ambushes for trivial infractions leads to significant pressure. Proposed legislation, SB 84, seeks to allow businesses 120 days to address alleged accessibility issues before facing lawsuits, promoting genuine compliance rather than encouraging attorneys to exploit the system for easy payouts.
California's small businesses face immense challenges, particularly from trial attorneys exploiting the Americans With Disabilities Act. These legal ambushes often target technical infractions with no ill intent.
Sen. Roger Niello's SB 84 aims to provide small businesses a chance to rectify accessibility issues before lawsuits, allowing 120 days for compliance without immediate litigation.
