Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Georgia (Mrs. McBath), who has been a fierce advocate for workers and consumers. Mrs. McBATH. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the FAIR Act, a bipartisan bill introduced by my friend and fellow Georgian, Congressman Johnson. I am proud to cosponsor this bill which will help small businesses by ending the use of forced arbitration. These tiny clauses hidden in the fine print are used to trick rising entrepreneurs in their dealings with sophisticated conglomerates. Small businesses need to sign contracts for phone plans, credit cards, and rental cars, but too often, lurking in the fine print, a few words can cost them their constitutional right to their day in court. With this bill, our entrepreneurs can focus on growing their businesses and investing in our communities. Madam Chair, I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting this bill.
