Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 does not declare affirmative action plans unconstitutional (A). It does require firms with over 100 employees to file an annual report with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (not the Department of Labor) identifying the steps they have taken to eliminate discriminatory practices, but the number is 100, not 600 (B). The Act does allow victims of discrimination to seek punitive damages (C), which was a significant change from previous laws. Finally, the Act does not explicitly declare reverse discrimination illegal (D).
