AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Defeat Sharia Law in America Act," proposes to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark law that prohibits discrimination. Specifically, it adds a provision to Section 201(a) of the Civil Rights Act, which deals with discrimination in public accommodations. The bill states that any establishment that offers goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations by implementing "Sharia law" will be considered to be discriminating or segregating on the ground of religion. "Sharia law" refers to Islamic religious law, and by adding this clause, the bill aims to explicitly prohibit its application in public accommodations within the United States, framing such application as a form of religious discrimination under existing civil rights protections.
