Bars the Attorney General (AG) from investigating or initiating a compliance review of an alleged violation occurring during such period.

Requires dismissal of any suit brought against a place of public accommodation or commercial facility for such a violation brought on or after March 15, 2012, and before the date of enactment of this Act.
