H,B, 849 - Age piscrimination in implgymlnt
bct Amendm§nts of 1995 .
(Fawell (R) IL and 44 co-sponsors)
..
The Administration does not object to the provision of HB 849
that provides a permanent exemption for State and local
firefighters and law enforcement officers from the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act. However, the Administration
views as unnecessary and dupl~cative the provision in this bill
requiring the E'qual Employment Opportunity Commission to conduct
a study of this issue, in light of the proposed permanent
exemption, as well as a similar study published in 1992.

Act Amendments Q~ 1995
(Fawell (R) IL and 44 co-sponsors)
The Administl';'ation does not object t'o the provision of HR 849
. that provides a permanent exemption for State and local
firefighters and law enforcement officers from the Age
'Discrimination in Employment Act. However, the Administration
views as unnecessary and duplicative the provision in this bill
requiring the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to conduct
a study of this .issue, in light of. the proposed permanent
exemption, as well as a similar study published in 1992.
