Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a batch of eight bills, including Senate Bill 907, which establishes new provisions for website accessibility lawsuits. The bill aims to protect businesses from abusive litigation practices related to website accessibility. The Act Against Abusive Website Access Litigation offers guidance on determining the primary purpose of such lawsuits and allows for civil action against abusive litigators. The Attorney General may intervene in cases of abusive litigation and the court may award attorney’s fees and costs to the defending party. The bill provides a framework for addressing website accessibility lawsuits in Missouri.
