This bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add a provision stating that businesses and public accommodations that implement Sharia law in providing goods or services would be considered to be discriminating based on religion. The legislation targets any establishment that uses Sharia law—Islamic religious law—as the basis for offering or denying services to customers. The bill does not include specific funding allocations or implementation timelines. The measure affects all public businesses and accommodations covered under the Civil Rights Act, potentially impacting any establishment accused of applying Islamic law in their operations. As drafted, the bill essentially treats the application of Sharia law in commercial settings as per se religious discrimination under existing federal civil rights law.
