Bill > HR8381

This bill, known as the Protect Older Job Applicants (POJA) Act, prohibits employers from asking about the age or date of birth of an individual before the completion and submission of a job application. The bill amends the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 to make it unlawful for employers to request this information upfront, and it also prohibits employers from limiting, segregating, or classifying applicants for employment based on their age. Additionally, the bill establishes a $5,000 penalty for employers who violate these provisions. The amendments made by this act will take effect one year after the date of enactment.
