RECLAIM Act

Bill 119 s 1069, also known as the "Civil Rights Act Amendment Act," aims to make changes to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The main goal of this bill is to allow the federal government to recover certain payments of financial assistance that were made to individuals or entities who have been found to have violated the Civil Rights Act.

The bill specifically targets situations where federal financial assistance was provided to individuals or entities who have engaged in discriminatory practices that violate the Civil Rights Act. This could include instances where the recipient of federal funds has been found guilty of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

If passed, this bill would give the federal government the authority to recoup any financial assistance that was provided to individuals or entities who have been found to have violated the Civil Rights Act. This would help ensure that taxpayer dollars are not being used to support discriminatory practices and would hold violators accountable for their actions. Overall, Bill 119 s 1069 seeks to strengthen the enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by allowing the federal government to recover financial assistance from those who have violated the law. This bill aims to promote equality and fairness for all individuals, regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
