Protecting Older Americans Act of 2023
This bill prohibits mandatory pre-dispute arbitration agreements for age discrimination claims involving individuals aged 40 or older. It directly affects older workers who face age discrimination, ensuring they can pursue court cases instead of being forced into private arbitration. The key provision invalidates any arbitration clause in contracts related to age discrimination disputes under federal, tribal, or state law. The law applies to claims arising after its enactment, allowing affected individuals to choose court litigation over arbitration for such cases.
