Treat Sharia-based rules as discrimination
This bill would amend the Civil Rights Act to say that places covered by the public‑accommodations ban are discriminating if they apply Sharia law to decide who gets goods, services, facilities, privileges, or accommodations. If enacted, people could cite that classification in religious discrimination claims. Covered businesses would face new legal exposure for using Sharia‑based rules. The change would take effect upon enactment.
