Existing law requires a court, with respect to an action involving a construction-related accessibility claim, to issue an order that, among other things, grants a 90-day stay of the proceedings with respect to that claim, schedules an early evaluation conference, and directs the defendant to file with the court under seal and serve on the plaintiff a copy of any relevant Certified Access Specialist inspection report, which shall be subject to a protective court order, as specified, if the defendant has satisfied certain requirements relating to inspection of the site at issue. Existing law requires the early evaluation conferences be conducted by a superior court judge or commissioner, or a court early evaluation conference officer, as defined. This bill would instead require the Certified Access Specialist inspection report to remain confidential and would allow disclosure only to the parties to the action, the parties' attorneys, and others involved in the evaluation and settlement of the case, as specified. The bill would also require the report to remain confidential until the conclusion of the claim, unless there is a showing of good cause by any party. This bill would make conforming and related technical changes.
