The Protecting Older Workers from Age Discrimination Act would restore certain age-discrimination protections for older workers that were wiped out by a 2009 Supreme Court decision. The AARP-backed bill cleared the House Education and Labor Committee on Wednesday. If passed, it would revise a court ruling that made workers prove that their age was a “decisive factor” in alleging illegal age-based discrimination against employers.
It’s not yet clear when the bill will advance to a full House vote. The legislation passed the House last year, but former President Donald Trump’s White House opposed it and it never received a vote in the Senate.
