HB1694 establishes the "Act Against Abusive Website Access Litigation" to protect Missouri residents from frivolous lawsuits.
HB1694 aims to safeguard Missouri residents from abusive website access litigation by defining when such litigation is considered abusive. A civil action is deemed abusive if the primary purpose is to obtain a monetary settlement unrelated to improving accessibility. Courts may consider factors like the plaintiff's history of similar lawsuits, notice provided to the defendant, and settlement discussions. The attorney general can intervene in abusive litigation and issue guidance on acceptable practices.
