Title: Legislation in the 107th Congress Requiring Notification Prior to Certain Legal Actions under the American with Disabilities Act
Authors: Nancy Lee Jones, American Law Division 
Abstract: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., provides broad nondiscrimination protection in employment, public services, public accommodation and services operated by private entities. H.R. 914 and S.782, 107th Congress, referred to as the ADA Notification Act and the Americans with Disabilities Notification Act respectively, would amend Title III of the ADA, which contains the provisions relating to public accommodations, to require that a plaintiff provide 90 days notice to the defendant prior to filing a complaint. H.R. 914 and S. 782 are virtually identical and H.R. 914 is identical to H.R. 3590 and S. 3122, 106th Cong.
