Kmart agreed to a $13 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit over access for disabled shoppers, a company spokesman said. The agreement, filed in U.S. District Court in Denver, also gives the company 7 1/2 years to bring its stores nationwide into compliance with federal standards for merchandise, counters, restrooms, fitting rooms and parking lots.

The $13 million settlement includes $8 million in cash and $5 million in gift cards. It will be distributed to class-action plaintiffs in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Texas, whose laws have minimum damages for failing to comply with disability access rules, said one of the plaintiffs' attorney.
