Bill Summary

This resolution calls on Congress to review federal public accommodation laws pertaining to website accessibility.

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges the United States Congress to review the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a federal law designed to ensure equal access for individuals with disabilities, and to make changes that would give businesses, particularly small businesses, a reasonable chance to fix any alleged website accessibility issues before facing legal action. The resolution highlights that while the ADA aims for accessibility, its current interpretation and enforcement regarding websites have led to numerous lawsuits against businesses, creating financial burdens and hindering their growth. It also calls on Congress and the Department of Justice to examine federal laws and procedures to develop solutions that support businesses.
