Barnard, Doug, Jr. [D-GA-10] GA D B000153 0 Amends title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Equal Employment Opportunity) to redefine "religion" so as to broaden the scope of employees' religious practices which are protected from religious discrimination by an employer. Exempts an employee's religious observance or practice from coverage of such Act if no accommodation is possible without severe pecuniary or other material loss to the employer (currently, such an exemption is based on a showing of "undue hardship" to the employer). 2025-07-21T19:44:15Z
