Ending Forced Arbitration of Race Discrimination Act of 2025

This bill prohibits employers from requiring employees to use forced arbitration for race discrimination claims. It directly affects workers who face discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in employment, making pre-dispute arbitration agreements unenforceable for such cases. The key mechanism requires courts - not arbitrators - to decide if an arbitration clause applies, ensuring employees can choose to pursue claims in court under federal, tribal, state, or local law. The law applies to all new or ongoing claims arising after its enactment.
