This bill significantly amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination in public accommodations based on sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation . It explicitly inserts these protections into sections addressing discrimination or segregation in public accommodations and under law. The legislation broadens the scope of what constitutes a public accommodation, encompassing a wide array of establishments such as online retailers, healthcare providers, banks, and various transportation services. The bill provides clear definitions for key terms, including gender identity and sexual orientation , and expands the definition of sex to include sex stereotypes, pregnancy, gender identity, and intersex traits. A crucial provision ensures that individuals shall not be denied access to shared facilities, such as restrooms and locker rooms, in accordance with their gender identity. Furthermore, the bill specifies that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 cannot be used as a defense against claims made under these new provisions.
