Mitch · Answer 1

The age discrimination act was signed by President Reagan on October 31, 1986, largely eliminates the age 70 cap on the group of workers protected by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA").

It was enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is a US labor law that forbids employment discrimination against anyone at least 40 years of age in the United States.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, passed in 1967, cited the frequent practice of using "arbitrary age limits" to make staffing decisions. The ADEA was first amended in 1986 and again 199q with the older workers benefit protection act.
