ADA Improvement Act of 2023
The ADA Improvement Act of 2023 requires that before filing a lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a plaintiff must first provide written notice of an alleged violation to the defendant via registered mail. This notice must specify the location, date, and nature of the violation, and the plaintiff must wait 30 days for the defendant to correct the issue before suing. The law applies to most ADA-related civil actions but excludes emergency cases seeking immediate court orders to stop ongoing violations. This change aims to give businesses a chance to address accessibility problems before legal action begins.
