Missouri lawmakers are working to protect small businesses from a surge of lawsuits over website accessibility violations. The legislation would give businesses 90 days to respond to Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuits or fix their websites. More than 100 Missouri business owners have faced lawsuits claiming their websites are not ADA-compliant. The bill aims to curb frivolous lawsuits while preserving legitimate legal action, with bipartisan support in both chambers. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry supports the legislation, emphasizing the need for meaningful accessibility improvements rather than focusing on minor technical issues.
