You can learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/ada-compliance-in-california\/\">Americans with Disabilities Act in California<\/a> here.<\/p><p>However, the case incorporated some ADA provisions, but also referenced three other pieces of accessibility legislation, two of which are specific to California:<\/p><h3>Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act<\/h3><p>Typically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.section508.gov\/\">Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973<\/a> applies primarily to federal agencies. <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/section-508-compliance\/\">Section 508 compliance<\/a> includes ensuring all governmental electronic and information technology is accessible to individuals with disabilities. However, private entities like Conduent can still be affected because third-party contractors of federal agencies and any organizations that receive federal funding must also comply.<\/p><h3>The Unruh Civil Rights Act<\/h3><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/unruh-civil-rights-act-compliance\/\">Unruh Civil Rights Act<\/a> (California Civil Code Section 51) guarantees equal accommodations for all, including those with disabilities. Originally enacted for brick-and-mortar businesses with a physical presence, court rulings have since concluded that websites are places of public accommodation, making the act equally applicable to public-facing websites.<\/p><h3>The California False Claims Act<\/h3><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/oag.ca.gov\/cfs\/falseclaims#:~:text=The%20California%20False%20Claims%20Act%20permits%20the%20Attorney%20General%20to,paying%20or%20transmitting%20money%20or\">California False Claims Act<\/a> was an essential legal framework in this case, as the eventual success of Bashin\u2019s legal team hinged on using the \u201cqui tam\u201d whistleblower provision, which enables individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of the government if they believe another organization has defrauded government funds.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3a8e3cf disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3a8e3cf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e95e44\" data-id=\"3e95e44\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b64b9d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b64b9d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>The Outcome<\/h2><p>Bashin won the case.
