Establishes the "Act Against Abusive Website Access Litigation" which establishes provisions relating to litigation alleging certain disability access violations
Second Read and Referred S General Laws Committee
Summary
The bill lets the state attorney general, or any Missouri resident facing a website accessibility suit, bring a civil action against the plaintiff, lawyer, or law firm that started the suit to decide if it was abusive. It sets out factors courts must weigh and allows recovery of attorney fees and sanctions when a suit is found abusive. The act would end automatically if the U.S. Justice Department issues new website‑access standards under the ADA.
