Bill overview
The Ending Bankruptcy Discrimination Act of 2020 aims to prevent employers from discriminating against individuals who have filed for bankruptcy or experienced insolvency. Specifically, it prohibits private employers from denying employment opportunities based on a person’s bankruptcy history. This legislation seeks to ensure that individuals recovering from financial hardship have a fair chance to find work. The law takes effect on the date of enactment, but does not apply retroactively to actions taken before that date.
