What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act of 2025 or the FAIR Act of 2025. It stops companies from forcing people into arbitration before a dispute actually happens. This rule applies to employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights disputes. It also stops agreements that take away the right to join a class action or collective action. The bill ensures that a court, rather than an arbitrator, decides whether these rules apply to a specific dispute. Finally, the bill does not stop people from choosing arbitration voluntarily after a dispute has already happened.
