The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and the Minnesota State Council on Disability have partnered together to propose legislation that will address the significant number of lawsuits that have been filed against Minnesota businesses for alleged violations of the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). Since its inception in July, 2014, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, Disability Support Alliance, together with its members, has filed numerous lawsuits against Minnesota businesses alleging lack of access for individuals with disabilities, in violation of the MHRA and ADA. The proposed legislation would allow business owners to make proper repairs and accommodate individuals with disabilities without litigation.
