Latest action on H.R. 5350: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects workers, consumers, businesses, unions, and courts. Workers and consumers could have more room to bring covered disputes in court or as group cases. Businesses that use arbitration clauses may need to change contracts and plan for more court cases. Courts would take on the job of deciding whether these arbitration limits apply.

Why this matters: Many people sign contracts that limit how they can fight a future dispute before they even know a problem exists. This bill would limit that practice in several high-impact areas. It could give workers and consumers more access to court and group cases. It could also raise legal risk and costs for businesses that rely on arbitration to handle disputes.

Key provisions in H.R. 5350

• A company could not enforce a pre-dispute arbitration clause in covered job, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights disputes. Pre-dispute means the person agreed before any specific problem happened.
• A company could not enforce a pre-dispute waiver that blocks joint, class, or collective cases in those same disputes. That means people could still try to bring a group case together.
• A court would decide whether the bill's protections apply and whether an arbitration agreement is valid. An arbitrator would not decide that question.
• Courts would decide those questions even if the contract says the arbitrator decides them. The same rule applies if the challenge is to the whole contract.
• The new chapter would not cover collective bargaining agreements between employers and unions. But workers would still keep the right to go to court to enforce constitutional or statutory rights.
