This bill proposes an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, specifically targeting Section 201(a) which prohibits discrimination in public accommodations. The core provision states that any establishment covered by this section that provides goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations by implementing Sharia law will be considered to be discriminating or segregating on the ground of religion. This amendment aims to explicitly define the application of Sharia law by public accommodations as a form of religious discrimination under federal civil rights law. The legislation intends to strengthen existing prohibitions against discrimination by public accommodations by adding this specific clarification.
