Ending Forced Arbitration for Race Discrimination Disputes.
This law restores the right of citizens to pursue claims of discrimination based on race, color, or national origin directly in court. If you signed a contract (like an employment agreement) containing a mandatory arbitration clause, you can now choose to bypass arbitration and file a race discrimination case in a public court. This change applies to disputes arising after the law is enacted.
Key points
Citizens gain the choice to sue in court for race discrimination disputes, even if they previously signed an agreement mandating arbitration.
Contract clauses that force arbitration for race discrimination claims become invalid and unenforceable.
A court, not an arbitrator, will determine whether a specific dispute falls under this new rule and can proceed to litigation.
