The bill expands access to court remedies for race-discrimination claimants at the cost of increasing potential litigation expenses and liability exposure for employers and businesses.
People of color will be able to bring race-discrimination claims in court rather than be compelled into mandatory predispute arbitration, preserving access to court remedies.
Employers and businesses may face higher litigation costs and greater exposure to court liability as more race-discrimination claims proceed through courts instead of arbitration.
Based on analysis of 3 sections of legislative text.
Adds a new chapter to Title 9 addressing predispute arbitration for race-discrimination claims, updates cross-references, and makes the changes apply only to claims arising on/after enactment.
Creates a new chapter in Title 9 of the U.S. Code that addresses predispute arbitration of disputes involving race discrimination, updates three cross-references in Title 9 to point to that chapter, and adds the chapter to the Title 9 table of chapters. The law applies only to disputes or claims that arise or accrue on or after the date the law is enacted; it does not apply retroactively. The excerpt provided does not include the text of the new chapter itself, only its placement and related cross-reference changes.
