CALA supporter George Coles' commentary "Out of Control ADA Lawsuits Need Reforms" was published in the San Diego Union Tribune.  Here is what he had to say:

"Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, has introduced reform legislation which would change all that. HR 881, the ADA Notification Act of 2011, would require that before a lawsuit could be filed under the ADA, the claimant would have to send the business a letter identifying the problem and providing a brief opportunity to fix it. Most businesses will promptly fix the problem because they can use the same money they would spend on litigation to make improvements. If they ignore the complaint, they realize they almost certainly will end up in court.

Experts estimate that close to 100 percent of ADA lawsuits could have been prevented if a reform like HR 881 had been passed years ago."
