- I oppose reforming current Americans with Disabilities Act policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA).
- I support access to public accommodations for persons with a disability by: 1.) Requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to develop a program to educate state and local governments and property owners on strategies for promoting access to public accommodations for persons with a disability. 2.) Authorizing an aggrieved person, after taking specified actions, to commence a civil action based on the failure to remove an architectural barrier to access an existing public accommodation. Specifically, the aggrieved person must have provided the owners or operators a written notice specific enough to identify the barrier and specify the circumstances under which public accommodation access was denied. The owners or operators must have (a.) failed to provide the person a written description outlining improvements that will be made to improve the barrier, or (b.) failed to remove the barrier or make substantial progress after providing such a description. 3.) Requiring the Judicial Conference of the United States to develop a model program to promote alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to resolve claims involving architectural barriers to access for public accommodations. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee (TX) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
