Bill > HR7100

This bill, titled the Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act of 2026, directs the Attorney General to establish a Task Force on Anti-Sikh Hate and Discrimination within 180 days of the Act's enactment. This task force will be responsible for creating a definition of anti-Sikh hate and discrimination to aid the Department of Justice in prosecuting hate crimes and collecting relevant statistics, and it will also develop an educational program about Sikhism and identifying anti-Sikh hate and discrimination for law enforcement, schools, and universities. The task force is mandated to submit annual reports to Congress detailing hate crimes against Sikhs, legal actions taken against perpetrators, ongoing threats including transnational repression (which refers to harassment or violence against U.S.-based Sikhs by foreign governments), and the Department of Justice's efforts to combat such issues, with a comprehensive five-year report also required. Furthermore, the task force will translate its public resources into Punjabi and collaborate quarterly with Sikh community members and organizations, with the Act stipulating that the Attorney General must adopt the task force's definition of anti-Sikh hate and discrimination for all relevant purposes.
