Well I hope they’re wise enough to not let any good employment attorneys catch wind because that’s blatantly illegal.

It's not a requirement, but the outcome of hiring results demographics wise is very visible.
The problem with such laws is it's trivial to avoid. Do they look old? I mean, you can't presume someone is thinking about age when they choose not to hire someone, but they definitely could be.
Discrimination is an almost "thought crime", meaning you can commit it entirely in your head. But the outcome is real. So it's very tough to spot, particularly when said discrimination also aligns with the most common societal biases.
