Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 29 USC 628, sec 115, Civil Rights Act of 1991
CFR Citation: 29 CFR 1626
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Section 115 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 deleted
references to the Portal-to-Portal Act from the private suit provisions
of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and replaced them
with a requirement that suit be filed no later than 90 days after
termination of proceedings or dismissal of a charge by EEOC.
Accordingly, section 1626.7(a) is being deleted and section 1626.15(b)
is being revised because they were both based upon the Portal-to-Portal
Act. New sections are being added concerning termination of EEOC
proceedings and the issuance of notices of the new 90-day limitation
period.
