                     HR 48 (Holden) - As Amended:  June 19, 2014
           
          SUBJECT  :   Civil Rights Act of 1964.

           SUMMARY  :   Commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights  
          Act of 1964 and encourages the citizens of the state to observe  
          this important occasion in the history of the nation.   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1)On July 2, 1064, President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the  
            Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, legislation proposed by  
            President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the most sweeping civil  
            rights legislation since Reconstruction.

          2)The Civil Rights Act of 1964 since has been amended by  
            Congress of the United States to extend the protections of the  
            law to disabled Americans, the elderly, and women in  
            collegiate athletic programs.

          3)In 2014, the nation will commemorate the 50th anniversary of  
            the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans segregation  
            on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, or national  
            origin at all places of public accommodation and prohibits  
            discrimination by employers and labor unions and the use of  
            federal funds for any discriminatory program.
