Revise laws related to equality in financial services
This bill creates the Equality in Financial Services Act to prohibit large financial institutions from discriminating against customers based on their religious beliefs, speech, associations, or business activities related to fossil fuels or firearms. It applies to banks with over $100 billion in assets and payment processors handling more than $100 billion in annual transactions. The law requires these institutions to provide specific written reasons within 30 days if they refuse, restrict, or terminate financial services to a customer, and defines discrimination as using social credit scores that evaluate protected First Amendment rights or certain business choices.
