Establishes the "Act Against Abusive Website Access Litigation"

HB 1674 creates a legal process for Missouri-based website operators to challenge lawsuits claiming their sites violate accessibility laws (like the ADA). If a business fixes the alleged website issue within 30 days (or 90 days if not fixed), the lawsuit is presumed abusive unless proven otherwise. Courts will assess if the lawsuit’s primary goal was financial gain, considering factors like the plaintiff’s history of similar cases, the defendant’s resources, and settlement discussions. The law expires if federal authorities issue official website accessibility standards under the ADA.
