This bill has very few sponsors and deals with a highly controversial topic that would likely face legal challenges. It has not moved past the first step in the House.
Key Points
- This bill would change the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to stop businesses from using Sharia law. It applies to places like hotels, restaurants, and theaters that are open to the public.
- Under this plan, any business that uses Sharia law to decide how they provide goods or services would be legally seen as discriminating against people based on their religion.
- The goal of the proposal is to prevent businesses from using religious legal codes to treat customers differently or to separate people into different groups.
- If this becomes law, a person could sue a business for religious discrimination if that business uses Sharia law to deny them service or change how they are treated.
