Bill > HR1443

This bill, the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Harassment Act of 2019, amends Title 9 of the United States Code to prohibit the enforcement of pre-dispute arbitration agreements that require the arbitration of sex discrimination disputes between employers and employees. It defines a "sex discrimination dispute" as a dispute arising from conduct that could form the basis of a claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, regardless of whether a Title VII violation is alleged. The bill specifies that the applicability of these provisions is to be determined by a court, not an arbitrator, and excludes collective bargaining agreements from its scope, unless they waive an employee's right to seek judicial enforcement of a constitutional, statutory, or public policy right.
