This bill would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to clarify that federal protections against sex discrimination in the workplace do not cover discrimination based on gender identity. The legislation specifically states that the phrase "because of sex" or "on the basis of sex" under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act should not be interpreted to include gender identity discrimination. The bill affects employers and employees across the private sector, as well as federal contractors and agencies covered by Title VII. There is no specific funding allocated in this legislation, as it is a clarifying provision to existing law rather than a new program. The bill was introduced in April 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
