Feinstein Wants California Legislators To Curb Abusive Lawsuits Over ADA

Senator Dianne Feinstein is urging California legislators to address the problem of so-called “drive-by” lawsuits that are filed against business owners in the state.

Feinstein said she is concerned that lawsuits filed under the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act are threatening the viability of some small businesses.

The unique California law allows a $4,000 charge per violation per day for businesses found in noncompliance with the ADA.
