Mandatory Arbitration Ban Bill

This week, the House is set to pass legislation that would prohibit mandatory arbitration agreements in employment, consumer, and other contracts. The Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act (H.R. 1423) would invalidate a predispute arbitration agreement if it requires arbitration of an employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights dispute and is broader than and Obama-era rule under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was narrowly voided by the Senate last Congress.
