Bill Summary
Provides for the consideration of the bill (S. 815, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013 [ENDA]) to prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Sets forth an amendment providing that: (1) ENDA shall not change the requirements of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applicable to a religious corporation, association, educational institution, or society with respect to the employment of individuals of a particular religion to perform work connected with carrying out the activities of such an organization; and (2) such organizations are not exempt from ENDA's requirements to refrain from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in the same manner as is required with respect to discrimination based on race, color, sex and national origin under such title.
AI Summary
This Resolution provides for the consideration of a bill, S. 815, known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013 (ENDA), which aims to prevent employers from discriminating against individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The resolution also includes an amendment that clarifies how existing civil rights laws apply to religious organizations; specifically, it states that while religious organizations are still permitted to hire individuals of a particular religion for religious work, they are not exempt from the ENDA's prohibition against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, mirroring protections already in place for discrimination based on race, color, sex, and national origin under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
