The Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act of 2025, or FAIR Act of 2025, aims to significantly reform arbitration law by prohibiting the enforcement of predispute arbitration agreements . Specifically, it invalidates any agreement made before a dispute arises that would force arbitration for future employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights disputes . The bill also prohibits predispute joint-action waivers , which prevent individuals from participating in class or collective actions in these dispute categories. This legislation ensures that individuals, workers, and small businesses retain their right to pursue these types of claims in a judicial forum, including through joint, class, or collective actions. A crucial provision dictates that a court, not an arbitrator, will determine whether this chapter applies to an agreement and its validity. While generally applying broadly, the Act carves out an exception for arbitration provisions within collective bargaining agreements, provided they do not waive a worker's right to judicial enforcement of constitutional or statutory rights. The Act will take effect upon enactment and apply to any dispute or claim that arises or accrues on or after that date. It explicitly clarifies that nothing in the legislation is intended to prohibit the use of arbitration on a voluntary basis once a dispute has already arisen, focusing solely on preventing mandatory predispute arbitration.
