The bill applies procedures from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 to claims of employer discrimination of an unpaid intern.

Federal courts may grant legal and equitable relief.

The bill prohibits state immunity under the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution from an action in a federal court for a violation of this bill.
