Bill > HR4

This resolution, passed by the Hawaii House of Representatives, urges the United States Congress to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. This means that individuals would be protected from unfair treatment in areas such as employment (getting and keeping a job), housing (renting or buying a home), public accommodations (places open to the public like restaurants and stores), education (schools and universities), federally funded programs (programs receiving government money), credit (loans and financial services), and jury service. The resolution highlights that while Hawaii has existing protections, many people across the U.S. lack such federal safeguards, and it references ongoing efforts like the federal Equality Act to achieve these protections.
