Amtrak passengers would no longer be forced into arbitration for disputes.
This bill would stop Amtrak from making passengers use private arbitration for some problems. Instead, customers could take consumer or civil rights issues to court. They could also join group lawsuits. This would give Amtrak passengers more choices when they have disagreements.
Today, Amtrak can include clauses in its contracts that force customers into private arbitration and prevent them from joining class-action lawsuits for consumer and civil rights disputes. If this bill passes, Amtrak would be prohibited from using these clauses, allowing customers to pursue these types of claims in court or through group lawsuits.
