Protecting Small Businesses from Predatory Website Lawsuits Act
To amend the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 to require exhaustion of administrative remedies for certain claims, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB7328, aims to change how small businesses are protected from certain lawsuits related to their websites. Specifically, it proposes to amend the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 by requiring people to go through administrative processes before filing such lawsuits. This is meant to help small businesses by reducing the number of frivolous claims they might face.
The changes would mainly affect small businesses that have websites. By requiring claimants to use administrative channels first, the bill hopes to limit unnecessary legal battles, which can be costly and time-consuming for these businesses. This protection could help small businesses focus more on growth and less on defending against lawsuits.
HB7328 was introduced on February 3, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further review. This is the first step in its legislative journey, where it will be examined, possibly amended, and then voted on by committee members before moving to the full House for additional debate and a vote.
