I selected the category as "Judiciary" and got their response:

"As you know, H.R. 728, introduced by Rep. Foley (R-FL), would amend
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 to require an opportunity
to correct alleged violations before a civil action could commence.
This bill is currently under consideration by the House Committee on
the Judiciary. "

Don't you have Judiciary?
