California's civil justice system is facing criticism for enabling the abuse of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), impacting small businesses through an influx of lawsuits often related to minor infractions. Senate Bill 84 (SB 84) seeks to reform this system by curbing legal exploitation while maintaining accessibility for disabled individuals. With California being responsible for nearly 30% of federal ADA lawsuits, this issue not only jeopardizes businesses but also inflates costs across the state, with significant economic repercussions including job losses and higher consumer prices.
Californians are enduring excessive financial burdens from an ADA system that, instead of fostering access, has been turned into a mechanism for exploitative lawsuits against small businesses.
The overwhelming number of ADA lawsuits, often targeting trivial violations, puts a stranglehold on California’s economy, leading to significant job losses and higher costs for residents.
