Summary of Bill HRES 979
Bill 117 HRES 979 is a resolution in the US Congress that sets the rules for considering two separate bills. The first bill, H.R. 963, aims to make changes to title 9 of the United States Code in relation to arbitration. The second bill, H.R. 2116, seeks to prevent discrimination based on an individual's hair texture or style.
The resolution, if passed, would allow for the consideration of both bills in the House of Representatives. H.R. 963 would specifically address arbitration laws, which are used to resolve disputes outside of the court system. The proposed changes to title 9 could potentially impact how arbitration agreements are enforced and interpreted.
On the other hand, H.R. 2116 focuses on prohibiting discrimination based on an individual's hair texture or style. This bill aims to protect individuals from being discriminated against in areas such as employment, housing, and education due to their natural hair.
