Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act of 2026

This bill would require the U.S. Attorney General to create a Task Force on Anti-Sikh Hate and Discrimination within 180 days of the law taking effect. The task force would write a definition of anti-Sikh hate and discrimination for the Department of Justice to use in prosecution decisions and hate crime statistics, and the Attorney General would be required to adopt that definition. It would also develop an educational program for law enforcement, schools, and colleges. The task force would send annual reports to Congress on hate crimes against Sikhs and related actions, translate its public materials into Punjabi, and meet every three months with Sikh community members and organizations.
