Summary
The bill adds a new section to state law that lets the attorney general or any Missouri resident file a civil action against a plaintiff, lawyer, or law firm that brings a website accessibility suit, to have a court decide if the suit is abusive. It sets factors for courts to weigh and permits recovery of attorney fees and punitive damages if abuse is found. The law would expire if the federal Department of Justice issues official website‑accessibility standards under the ADA.
