Again, I urge support of my amendment. The whole point of this amendment is to remove the notice and cure provision. Again, the ADA law has been around for nearly three decades now. People should be proactive about understanding what their responsibilities are to operate businesses or issues of public accommodation, to understand what their responsibilities are. Not, basically, taking that responsibility incentivizes people to say: Well, just wait and see if there is an issue, and only if we get notified will we then fix the problem. People need to be proactive and comply with the law, and I believe, there, everybody wins. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
