Ask your Representative to vote YES on HR 620!

Please call or email your Representative and urge him or her to VOTE YES on HR 620, the ADA Education and Reform Act. This bill is scheduled for floor consideration on Thursday, February 15.

ICSC supports HR 620, which closes the loophole in the federal law that has unintentionally produced a spike in “drive-by” lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and adds safeguards that incentivize the remedy of alleged violations – without taking away the right to pursue “bad actors” that ignore compliance. The suits are aimed at private businesses open to the public. The main driver in these actions is forcing a monetary settlement consisting mainly of attorney’s fees that only benefit the attorney and do little to increase access. HR 620 is a “notice and cure” bill that requires a plaintiff to notify property owners about alleged violations and allows them a set period of time to correct the potential problems before the clock starts running on attorney fees.

Once connected to your Representative’s office simply tell them your name, your company, your town and that local business owners need them to vote YES on HR 620.
