This bill would expand the types of compensation and legal remedies available to workers who win discrimination lawsuits based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, bringing those remedies in line with what's available in other civil rights cases. It would also extend similar expanded remedies to workers who file age discrimination complaints, ensuring older workers have the same legal tools available as workers facing other forms of discrimination. The changes would make it easier for employees to recover damages when they successfully prove they've been discriminated against on the job.
