  <plain-language-summary>While dropped by the 110th Congress, this bill was passed into law within about 20 days of being introduced again in 2009. The bill resets the statute of limitations for pay-related discrimination cases such that an employee has 180 days to file a formal complaint of discrimination after receiving each pay-check, rather than only after the initial instance of pay discrimination.</plain-language-summary>

  <summary>	1/29/2009--Public Law. (This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 - Amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to declare that an unlawful employment practice occurs when: (1) a discriminatory compensation decision or other practice is adopted; (2) an individual becomes subject to the decision or practice; or (3) an individual is affected by application of the decision or practice, including each time wages, benefits, or other compensation is paid. Allows liability to accrue, and allows an aggrieved person to obtain relief, including recovery of back pay, for up to two years preceding the filing of the charge, where the unlawful employment practices that have occurred during the charge filing period are similar or related to practices that occurred outside the time for filing a charge. Applies the preceding provisions to claims of compensation discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.Amends the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 to declare that an unlawful practice occurs when a discriminatory compensation decision or other practice is adopted, when a person becomes subject to the decision or other practice, or when a person is affected by the decision or practice, including each time wages, benefits, or other compensation is paid.</summary>
