Senate to Take Up Ledbetter Pay Discrimination Bill

ACSBlog gives us the heads up that tomorrow, the:

Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee [will hold] hearings to examine S.1843, which amends title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 to clarify that an unlawful practice occurs each time compensation is paid pursuant to a discriminatory compensation decision or other practice.

The Ledbetter Bill passed the House back in July, which was shortly followed by a predictable veto threat by President Bush.  More background on the Ledbetter case can be found here.
