Fair Civil Damages: Banning Bias in Future Earnings Calculations.

This law prohibits federal courts from using race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation when calculating a plaintiff's projected future earning potential in civil cases. The goal is to ensure that compensation for lost earning capacity is fair and free from historical biases. Citizens can expect their financial compensation not to be reduced based on their membership in a historically disadvantaged group.
Key points
Non-discrimination rule: Courts cannot adjust damages based on a plaintiff's race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Bias-free economic tables: The government must develop new, inclusive economic tables for calculating future earnings without relying on discriminatory factors.
