A bill for an act relating to abusive litigation alleging internet site accessibility violations, and including applicability provisions.

This bill creates a process for businesses in Iowa to challenge lawsuits alleging website accessibility violations as "abusive litigation." It directly affects Iowa-based businesses operating public accommodations (including websites), law firms filing such lawsuits, and the Attorney General. Key provisions establish that if a defendant makes a good-faith effort to fix an accessibility issue within 30 days of notice, the lawsuit is presumed abusive - unless the issue remains uncorrected after 90 days. Courts must consider factors like the number of similar lawsuits filed by the same attorney or history of frivolous claims when determining abuse, and can award attorney fees or punitive damages (up to three times those fees) against abusive cases. The bill applies to lawsuits filed on or after July 1, 2026.
