What are the additional provisions that were ADDED by the 1991 Civil Rights Act?

The correct choice highlights that the 1991 Civil Rights Act established provisions allowing for the recovery of damages for emotional pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life in cases of discrimination. This was a significant addition as it provided a means for individuals who experienced unfair treatment or discrimination to seek compensation for the non-economic impacts of that discrimination.

The legislation aimed to strengthen the civil rights laws, and by including emotional distress and suffering in the scope of recoverable damages, it recognized the profound psychological and emotional effects discrimination can have on individuals. This was particularly important in cases where traditional economic damages, such as lost wages, did not adequately address the harm experienced by the victim.

The other options do not align with the specific additions made by the 1991 Civil Rights Act. Job training and mentoring programs are valuable but were not explicitly included in the Act; health insurance and retirement benefits are typically covered under different employment laws; and while increased minimum wage protections are important, they fall under labor law rather than civil rights law.
