I thought some of you might be interested in this blog post, over at the SAA Blog, summarizing bills recently introduced in Congress to ban pre-dispute arbitration agreements in various contexts or otherwise amend the Federal Arbitration Act. Most of these proposed laws are not surprising, and mimic bills introduced over the past few decades designed to combat “mandatory” arbitration or otherwise overturn Supreme Court decisions under the FAA.
It will be interesting to see whether the currently Democratically-controlled Senate and House can agree on an FAA fix.
[Thanks to George H. Friedman, SAA Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, for collecting these bills in one place!]
