Feinstein Wants to Stop "Drive-By" Lawsuits Against Businesses

Senator Dianne Feinstein wants the state legislature do something about abusive lawsuits.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asked state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) that the state legislature do something to stop allegedly abusive lawsuits by a small group of plaintiffs lawyers against businesses for noncompliance with ADA regulations guaranteeing ease of access for the disabled, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Last year, a bill that would give business owners 120 days to fix violations from the time a demand letter was received was voted down. Senate GOP leader Bob Dutton is pushing for a similar bill, reducing the time allowed to 90 days.
