Mr. Speaker. despite what proponents argue. H.R. 1. the quota bill. will absolutely force businesses on main streets across America to hire employees by quotas to avoid the punishing litigation costs contained in this bill. Small- and mediumsized businesses cannot afford to have attorneys and personnel directors and employee relations consultants on staff to help them deal with the complex legal language contained in the quota bill. According to a 1988 Rand Corp. study. the average jury award in employment discrimination cases is $646.000. These type awards will absolutely destroy main street businesses. The only way to avoid unlimited damage awards like these would be for smallbusiness owners to hire by quotas.
