Bill > HB1458

This bill, known as the Accessibility to Shopping Cart Corrals Act, requires retail establishments that provide shopping carts to place cart corrals within 20 feet of parking spaces reserved for individuals with disabilities, as mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The bill defines key terms like "parking area" (a lot provided by a retail establishment for customer vehicle parking) and "shopping cart" (a wheeled basket used to transport goods). Retail establishments are allowed to relocate or construct additional cart corrals to comply with the requirement. If a retail establishment fails to comply, an individual who is negatively affected can file a civil action in court to seek injunctive relief or other appropriate remedies. The law will take effect 180 days after its passage, giving businesses time to adjust their parking lot layouts to meet the new accessibility standards.
