Bill overview
The Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act aims to make it easier for older workers to prove they’ve been discriminated against in the workplace. It changes the legal standard for proving age discrimination, allowing plaintiffs to show that age or an investigation related to age discrimination was a motivating factor, even if other factors were also involved. The bill also clarifies remedies for discrimination claims and extends similar protections to claims based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, and disability, while prohibiting monetary damages in certain cases.
