H.R. 728 · 108th Congress

ADA Notification Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

ADA Notification Act - Amends the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 to deny jurisdiction to a court in a civil action for remedies unless the complainant has implemented specified notification procedures that include opportunity for correction of the alleged violation.

States that, if a complainant fails to provide such an opportunity, the court: (1) shall impose an appropriate sanction upon the attorneys involved (notwithstanding the court's lack of jurisdiction to proceed with the action); and (2) may not allow plaintiff's attorneys' fees or costs (including litigation expenses) even if the notification criteria are subsequently met and the civil action proceeds.
