Federal HB5115 prohibits predispute arbitration agreements for age discrimination disputes.

Federal HB5115 amends title 9 of the United States Code to invalidate predispute arbitration agreements for age discrimination disputes. This means that individuals alleging age discrimination, which includes disparate treatment, disparate impact, harassment, and retaliation, cannot be forced into arbitration before a dispute arises. The applicability of this chapter to an agreement to arbitrate and the validity and enforceability of such agreements shall be determined by a court, not an arbitrator.
