Title: The Americans with Disabilities Act: Legislation Concerning Notification Prior to Initiating Legal Action
Authors: Nancy Lee Jones, American Law Division 
Abstract: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides broad nondiscrimination protection in employment, public services, and public accommodation and services operated by private entities. Since the 106th Congress, legislation has been introduced to require plaintiffs to provide notice to the defendant prior to filing a complaint regarding public accommodations. In the 110th Congress, H.R. 3479 was introduced by Representative Keller to amend Title III of the ADA to require notification.
