Protecting Small Businesses from Predatory Website Lawsuits Act

This bill would add a new section to the Americans with Disabilities Act covering business websites and mobile apps run by private companies. Before suing over a website or app that does not meet the law's accessibility rules, a person would first have to notify the owner or operator. If the owner does not fix the problem within 180 days, the person could file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, which would have 360 days to investigate. If the Attorney General finds the site compliant, or makes no decision within 360 days, that would count as a final finding of compliance for deciding whether the person may sue.
