Bill > HR6581

This bill amends the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to clarify the appropriate standards of proof for federal employment discrimination and retaliation claims. Specifically, it establishes that an unlawful practice is established when the complaining party demonstrates that age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or disability was a motivating factor for any practice, even if other factors also motivated the practice. The bill also outlines the available remedies in such cases, including declaratory and injunctive relief, but not damages or orders for admission, reinstatement, hiring, promotion, or payment. The provisions of this bill apply to all claims pending on or after the date of its enactment.
