REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO PASS LEGISLATION TO AMEND THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF SEX, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AND GENDER IDENTITY IN EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS, EDUCATION, FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS, CREDIT, AND JURY SERVICE.

Summary

The resolution asks the U.S. Congress to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so that discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity is prohibited in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, credit, and jury service. It affects anyone in the United States who could face such discrimination, but the resolution itself does not create new legal rights—it merely requests federal action. The measure highlights Hawaii’s own protections and the long‑standing push for a federal Equality Act.
