HR 4161 United States House · 119th Congress

Fair Calculations in Civil Damages Act of 2025

This bill prohibits U.S. courts from using future earnings calculations in civil damages cases that factor in race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or intersex traits. It requires the Secretary of Labor to create guidance for "inclusive" future earnings tables within 180 days that avoid such bias, and directs studies on damages data by case type and protected class. The bill also mandates training for federal judges on implementing these changes and ensures calculations based on age or disability don’t conflict with equal protection laws. It directly affects plaintiffs, defendants, and courts in personal injury and discrimination cases where damages are calculated.
