Ending Forced Arbitration of Race Discrimination Act of 2023
This bill prohibits forced arbitration for race discrimination claims under federal, tribal, state, or local law. It makes pre-existing arbitration agreements unenforceable for disputes involving discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, allowing affected individuals to pursue cases in court instead. The law directly impacts employees, job applicants, and others facing alleged race discrimination who would otherwise be barred from court by mandatory arbitration clauses. It requires courts - not arbitrators - to decide if the law applies to a dispute, ensuring legal clarity for affected parties.
