The State of ADA Website Compliance in California
Two weeks after this video was published, a new amendment to a bill (AB-1757) was proposed that would require WCAG 2.1 AA conformance of websites and mobile apps. The bill would have far reaching consequences. You can read about it here:

Kris Rivenburgh covers the state of ADA Website Compliance in California. The two primary laws in play are the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Unruh Civil Rights Act (Unruh Act). Also, one huge and recent development is online-only can no longer be effectively sued in California state or federal court.
Additionally, litigation may happen randomly or a number of businesses within a specific niche or industry may be sued. Industries targeted include dentists, plastic surgeons, restaurants, bike shops, breweries, and cannabis shops among others.
California plaintiffs law firms that have been involved in litigation include Pacific Trial Attorneys, Manning Law, The Hill Law Firm, Potter Handy (Center for Disability Access), and The Wilshire Law Firm.
Also note that the California Consumer Privacy Act also touches upon website accessibility. You can watch my video on the CCPA here:
