AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change how a federal workplace anti-discrimination law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is read. Under the bill, the phrases "because of sex" and "on the basis of sex" in Title VII would not include gender identity. This means discrimination based on gender identity would not be treated as sex discrimination under Title VII.
