Most California senators supported this ADA lawsuit bill. It died anyway
Sen. Roger Niello's bill to give businesses 120 days to fix ADA violations before lawsuits, which passed the Senate with bipartisan support, was blocked by Assembly Judiciary Committee Chair Ash Kalra, a Democrat, who favored a competing bill. Disability rights groups opposed Niello's bill, arguing it would hinder accountability, while business groups supported it.
