Topics included in the presentation：

1, Do you know that California outpaces other states in ADA lawsuits（7,188 cases from 2005 to 2013）?

2, What is the Americans with Disabilities Act（ADA）and how does it apply to my business or facility?

3, Who has responsibility for ADA compliance in leased places of public accommodation, the landlord or the tenant?

4, If I am leasing space from a building owner and the building does not have enough ADA parking spaces to be compliant with ADA Standards, am I obligated to address this or is it solely the responsibility of the building owner?

5, Is my building "grandfathered in" under the older ADA Standards or do I need to comply with the new 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design?

6, If I am doing a renovation on a hotel, how many guest rooms need to be accessible?

7, What are the laws about services animals that apply to my business? Businesses and non-profit organizations are required by the ADA to remove architectural barriers when it is "readily achievable" to do so. How do businesses and non-profit organizations determine what is "readily achievable"?

8, Are there any limitations on the ADA's barrier removal requirements for existing facilities?

9, What funding assistance is available for removing barriers and accommodating customers with disabilities?

10, Why does the new law require that any lease of commercial property executed on or after July 1, 2013, must state whether a CASp has inspected the premises and/or, whether any violations were found?

11, How can a CASp help business owners to reduce unwarranted ADA litigation?
