Ted Poe: “I appreciate the gentleman's comments. I want to remind folks that notice requirement is required even under title VII…”

“I appreciate the gentleman's comments. I want to remind folks that notice requirement is required even under title VII of the Civil Rights Act. It is also required under title I of the original ADA legislation. So this is not a new phenomena. This legislation and this amendment gives potential plaintiffs the ability to advise and put a business on notice without even having to hire a lawyer with the legalese requirements that are written by the Department of Justice, which constantly updates what requirements are under the ADA. The intention is to simply have the violation described in a way that is sufficient to put the business on notice of what the ADA violation is. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I would ask that all Members support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Poe). The amendment was agreed to. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair understands that amendment No. 7 will not be offered. {time} 1115”
