The Daily Beast: Landmark #MeToo Bill Makes Its Way to President Biden

Written By Guest User

The law would end forced arbitration in sexual assault and harassment cases that have been used to cover up toxic workplace issues.

A landmark #MeToo bill to end forced arbitration in cases involving sexual harassment or assault is now headed to President Joe Biden’s desk, and he is expected to sign it into law.

The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act was first introduced by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) in 2017, who re-introduced the bill last year along with Sen. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The House passed the legislation, sponsored by Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), on a 335-97 vote earlier this week and the Senate on Thursday did the same on a voice vote.
