Plain-English Summary

This bill would strengthen legal protections for workers age 40 and older against age-based discrimination in hiring, firing, pay, and promotions. It aims to make it easier for older workers to prove they were treated unfairly because of their age and could increase penalties for companies that violate these protections. The changes would affect millions of older Americans in the workforce and employers across all industries.
