115-hr-1374 115 hr 1374 Arbitration Fairness Act of 2017 Law 2017-03-07 2017-03-17 Referred to the Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial And Antitrust Law. House Rep. Johnson, Henry C. "Hank," Jr. [D-GA-4] GA D J000288 82 Arbitration Fairness Act of 2017 This bill prohibits a predispute arbitration agreement from being valid or enforceable if it requires arbitration of an employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights dispute. The validity and enforceability of an agreement to arbitrate shall be determined by a court, under federal law, rather than an arbitrator, irrespective of whether the party resisting arbitration challenges the arbitration agreement specifically or in conjunction with other terms of the contract containing such agreement. Nothing in this bill applies to arbitration provisions in a contract between an employer and a labor organization or between labor organizations, except that no such arbitration provision shall have the effect of waiving the right of an employee to seek judicial enforcement of a right arising under the U.S. Constitution, a state constitution, a federal or state statute, or related public policy. 2023-01-11T13:35:44Z
