H.R. 1230 Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act NO Age discrimination in the workplace is already illegal under US federal law.  This bill needlessly complicates the law in what amounts to nothing but a boon of a payout for trial lawyers.

SUSPENSION BILLS

**A suspension bill is a bill passed by the House through suspending the rules to move quickly, circumventing the House Rules Committee. Suspension bills are typically less controversial pieces of legislation, and as the rules are being suspended, they require a higher threshold, two-thirds of those voting in the House, to pass. Additionally, these bills are often passed by a voice vote, without a formal roll call vote.
