Bill > S4801

This bill, the Fair Access to Financial Services Act of 2020, prohibits financial institutions from discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill provides that all persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, and accommodations of financial institutions without such discrimination. It also establishes a private right of action, allowing aggrieved persons to file civil lawsuits for preventive relief, including injunctions and restraining orders. The remedies provided in this bill are intended to be the exclusive means of enforcing the rights established, but the bill does not preclude individuals or state/local agencies from asserting any other federal or state law rights that are not inconsistent with this legislation.
