Missouri HB1842 aims to prevent abusive litigation over website access violations.
Missouri HB1842, known as the "Act Against Abusive Website Access Litigation," aims to prevent litigation that alleges website access violations from being considered abusive. The bill defines "access violation" as any allegation that a public accommodation does not provide sufficient access under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The trier of fact must consider various factors to determine if the litigation's primary purpose is obtaining payment. If the litigation is deemed abusive, the court may award attorney's fees, costs, and punitive damages.
