Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The No Grounds for Discrimination Act would prohibit discrimination at coffee shops, cafes, tea houses, and similar informal dining establishments based on religion, race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or veteran status. The bill applies to any of these establishments that serve the public, primarily serve coffee, tea, or light refreshments, and either affect interstate commerce or are supported by state action. Violations would be enforced using the same procedures and penalties established under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which currently covers discrimination at hotels, restaurants, and other public accommodations. The bill does not specify any new federal funding or implementation timeline beyond referencing existing enforcement mechanisms from the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
