(1) In enacting section 107 of the Civil Rights 
Act of 1991 (adding section 703(m) of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964), Congress reaffirmed its under-
standing that unlawful discrimination is often dif-
ficult to detect and prove because discriminators do 
not usually admit their discrimination and often try 
to conceal their true motives. Section 703(m) of the 
Civil Rights Act of 1964 expressly approved so- 
called ‘‘mixed motive’’ claims, providing that an un-
lawful employment practice is established when a 
protected characteristic was a motivating factor for 
any employment practice, even though other factors 
also motivated the practice. 
(2) Congress enacted amendments to other civil 
rights statutes, including the Age Discrimination in 
Employment Act of 1967 (referred to in this section 
as the ‘‘ADEA’’), the Americans with Disabilities 
Act of 1990, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, but 
Congress did not expressly amend those statutes to 
address mixed motive discrimination. 
(3) In the case of Gross v. FBL Financial Serv-
ices, Inc., 557 U.S. 167 (2009), the Supreme Court 
held that, because Congress did not expressly amend 
the ADEA to address mixed motive claims, such 
claims were unavailable under the ADEA, and in-
