Under existing law, a person, firm, or corporation that interferes with the access rights of a disabled individual is liable for the actual damages of each offense and any amount determined by a judge or jury of up to 3 times the amount of the actual damages, but in no case less than $1,000. Existing law requires the State Architect to develop and submit for approval and adoption building standards for making buildings, structures, sidewalks, curbs, and related facilities accessible to, and usable by, persons with disabilities. This bill would establish notice requirements for an alleged aggrieved party to follow before bringing an action against a microbusiness, as defined, for an alleged violation of the above-described provisions.

Further, this bill would require the owner, agent, or other responsible party to respond within 30 days with a description of the improvements to be made or with a rebuttal to the allegations. If the owner, agent, or other responsible party elects to fix the alleged violation, the bill would provide 120 days to apply for any necessary permits and to remedy the alleged violation. The provisions of the bill would not apply to claims for recovery of special damages for an injury in fact, and the bill would require a court or jury to consider previous or pending actual damage awards received or prayed for by the alleged aggrieved party for the same or similar injury.
