Civil rights: disabilities discrimination; civil actions under the persons with disabilities civil rights act; require presuit notice and provide an opportunity to comply. Amends sec. 606 of 1976 PA 220 (MCL 37.1606) & adds sec. 606a.
HB 5075 requires individuals alleging accessibility violations under Michigan's Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act to provide written notice to facility owners or managers before filing a lawsuit. The notice must detail specific violations and give the owner 15 business days to respond, either by committing to fix issues within 120 days, challenging the claim, or proving prior corrections. This applies to violations of accessibility laws covering public accommodations, buildings, and transportation. The bill aims to give owners a chance to resolve issues before litigation, while still allowing lawsuits if owners fail to respond or comply within the specified timeframe. It directly affects disabled individuals seeking enforcement and facility owners subject to accessibility laws.
