Requesting The United States Congress To Pass Legislation To Amend The Civil Rights Act Of 1964 To Prohibit Discrimination On The Basis Of Sex, Sexual Orientation, And Gender Identity In Employment, Housing, Public Accommodations, Education, Federally Funded Programs, Credit, And Jury Service.

Summary

If enacted, this non-binding resolution would urge the United States Congress to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, credit, and jury service. The resolution expresses the Hawaii Legislature's support for expanded federal nondiscrimination protections but has no direct regulatory effect in Hawaii. Lenders and other entities subject to the Civil Rights Act should monitor potential federal changes.
