This bill prohibits Amtrak from enforcing mandatory arbitration clauses in its contracts with passengers. Specifically, it prevents Amtrak from requiring customers to settle consumer disputes or civil rights violations through private arbitration instead of taking their cases to court. The law applies to all disputes involving Amtrak passengers, including personal injury claims and alleged discrimination based on race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The bill also prevents Amtrak from blocking customers from participating in class action lawsuits or other joint legal actions. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage and applies to any disputes arising after the bill becomes law.
