This bill would give businesses and organizations 30 days to fix violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) after being notified of a problem, rather than facing immediate legal action. The goal is to encourage compliance by allowing time for corrections before lawsuits are filed, affecting employers, public facilities, and other entities that serve people with disabilities. Supporters argue this gives good-faith actors a chance to remedy issues quickly, while critics worry it could delay justice for people with disabilities.

SEC. 2. NOTICE AND CURE PERIOD. Paragraph (1) of section 308(a) of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12188(a)(1)) is amended to read as follows: ``(1) Availability of remedies and procedures.-- ``(A) In general.--Subject to subparagraph (B), the remedies and procedures set forth in section 204(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000a-3(a)) are the remedies and procedures this title provides to any person who is being subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability in violation of this title or who has reasonable grounds for believing that such person is about to be subjected to discrimination in violation of section 303.
