One of the main goals of the bipartisan San Joaquin Valley Caucus was achieved Tuesday when Governor Jerry Brown announced that he signed SB269, giving businesses more time for Americans with Disabilities Act fixes. “I applaud Governor Brown for taking a stand for California’s small businesses by signing this legislation that will protect them from frivolous lawsuits, while ensuring that those who have legitimate ADA claims are not denied due process," said Assemblymember Kristin Olsen, R-Riverbank, who co-authored SB 269 with Senators Richard Roth (D-Riverside) and Andy Vidak (R-Hanford). ADA legislation has been abused by individuals across the state filing frivolous lawsuits in an effort to make money off of predominantly small business owners, according to Olsen.
