Bill > SCR11

This concurrent resolution respectfully urges the United States Congress to pass legislation that would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The purpose of this amendment would be to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation (a person's romantic and/or sexual attraction to others), and gender identity (a person's internal sense of being male, female, both, neither, or somewhere else along the gender spectrum) in several key areas: employment, housing, public accommodations (places open to the public), education, federally funded programs, credit, and jury service. The resolution highlights that while Hawaii has existing protections in some of these areas, federal law currently lacks comprehensive protections for sexual and gender minorities across the nation, referencing ongoing efforts like the federal Equality Act.
