Protecting Small Businesses from Predatory Website Lawsuits Act

# Protecting Small Businesses from Predatory Website Lawsuits Act (HR 7328) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to shield small businesses from certain types of lawsuits related to website accessibility. Specifically, it would limit lawsuits filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that claim a business's website isn't accessible to people with disabilities. The bill would likely establish new procedural requirements or standards that make it harder to file these lawsuits against smaller companies. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The legislation primarily targets small businesses, which supporters argue face expensive legal battles over website accessibility issues.

The bill would change how courts handle disability-related website lawsuits, though the specific provisions aren't detailed in the available summary. Opponents might argue the bill could reduce incentives for businesses to make websites accessible to people with disabilities, while supporters contend it protects small businesses from frivolous or excessive litigation costs. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7328 remains in committee and has not advanced to a full vote in the House. No additional action has been taken since its introduction in the 119th Congress.
