A BILL To amend title 9 of the United States Code with respect to arbitration of disputes involving sexual assault and sexual harassment.
AI Summary
This bill, the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021, amends the United States Code to make predispute arbitration agreements and predispute joint-action waivers unenforceable with respect to sexual assault and sexual harassment disputes filed under federal, tribal, or state law. The bill defines "sexual assault dispute" and "sexual harassment dispute" and specifies that the applicability of the bill and the validity of any arbitration agreement shall be determined by a court, rather than an arbitrator. The amendments made by the bill apply to any dispute or claim that arises or accrues on or after the date of enactment.
