Ending Passenger Rail Forced Arbitration Act

This bill would make agreements that require Amtrak customers to settle future disputes through private arbitration invalid and unenforceable for consumer and civil rights disputes, including personal injury claims. It would also void agreements that waive a customer's right to join a class or group lawsuit against Amtrak. A court, not an arbitrator, would decide whether these rules apply to a particular agreement. The rules would not cover disputes under the Railway Labor Act and would apply to disputes arising on or after the date the bill becomes law.
