Establishes the "Act Against Abusive Website Access Litigation"
HB 2150 creates a legal process for Missouri businesses sued over website accessibility claims (under ADA or state law) to challenge such lawsuits as "abusive." It directly affects Missouri-based website owners and their attorneys, as well as plaintiffs' lawyers filing these cases. Key provisions require defendants to fix accessibility issues within 30 days to avoid a presumption of abusive litigation, and courts must weigh factors like the plaintiff’s history of similar cases or defendant resources when deciding. If litigation is deemed abusive, courts can award the defendant attorney fees and up to three times those fees as punitive damages. The law expires if the federal government issues website accessibility standards under the ADA.
