SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) throughout the history of the United States, 
English has been the common thread to unify the 
American people much as they are united under one 
flag; 
(2) Americans overwhelmingly believe that it is 
very important for people living in the United States 
to speak and understand English; 
(3) there is vast support among the American 
people to allow a company the freedom to implement 
English in the workplace policies; and 
(4) when a group of employees speaks a lan-
guage other than English in the workplace, it may 
cause misunderstandings, create dangerous cir-
cumstances, and undermine morale. 
SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PERMIS-
SIBLE. 
Section 703 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 
U.S.C. 2000e–2) is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing: 
‘‘(o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, 
it shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an 
employer to require employees to speak English while en-
gaged in work.’’.
