HR 8017 United States House · 119th Congress

Defeat Sharia Law in America Act

This bill proposes to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to classify establishments that implement Sharia law as discriminating on the basis of religion. It would directly affect businesses and organizations that follow or apply Islamic legal principles in their operations. The key mechanism adds a new provision to existing civil rights law, allowing affected parties to claim religious discrimination if an establishment uses Sharia law. The bill does not define what constitutes implementing Sharia law or establish specific enforcement procedures beyond the existing civil rights framework.
