AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require that before filing a civil action based on the failure to remove an architectural barrier to access in an existing public accommodation, the aggrieved person must first provide the owners or operators with a written notice that identifies the specific barrier. The owners or operators then have 60 days to provide a written description outlining the improvements that will be made to remove the barrier. If the owners or operators do not provide such a description or fail to remove the barrier or make substantial progress in doing so within 120 days, the aggrieved person may then file a civil action.
