Summary

AB 649 establishes a Small Business Right‑to‑Cure program that gives owners who correct all construction‑related accessibility issues identified by a Certified Access Specialist a 120‑day window to avoid minimum statutory damages. The bill also lets qualified owners recover attorney fees from plaintiffs and requires public posting of program participation notices. It adds reporting duties for attorneys and the Disability Access Commission and extends Unfair Competition Law enforcement to false program notices.
