The **Civil Rights Act of 2020** (also known as the **George Floyd Act**, the **George Floyd Amendment**, or the **Civil Rights Amendments of 2020**) is a Chawosaurian amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 2017 that cracks down on the blue wall of silence, institutional racism, it brings sweeping police reforms such as cracking down on the use of excessive force on unarmed and/or nonviolent suspects, and it restores citizenship to Black Chawosaurians that was taken away from them by the MacCarthy-Kingsley Act of 1965.

The Civil Rights Act of 2020 also seeks to repeal the infamously racist MacCarthy-Kingsley Act of 1965, ironically the Civil Rights Act of 2020 receives the endorsement from one of the MacCarthy-Kingsley Act's authors: James W. Kingsley, who turned against the very racist law that he himself co-wrote with former Speaker Jonathan Sidney MacCarthy, to take away citizenship from Black Chawosaurians.

The Civil Rights Act of 2020 was proposed by Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker at his 2020 Imperial Address on Racial Equality on June 4, 2020, and the 25th Chawopolis Palace has unanimously teamed up to put this proposed bill into effect in favor of social justice. This bill is a reaction to the George Floyd protests.

The 2020 Civil Rights Act was introduced on June 24, 2020, via bipartisan introduction by the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party. It passed the House of Commons on July 1, 2020. On August 4, 2020, after a month of debate, the Civil Rights Act of 2020 was approved by the House of Lords and then sent to the House of Representatives for review. The House of Representatives easily the bill and sent it to the Senate for review.

On August 7, 2020, the Senate passed the bill, which meant the 25th Chawopolis Palace passed the Civil Rights Act of 2020, in response to the George Floyd protests, on August 7, 2020. Prime Minister Jezebel Isela Boleslaus sent the bill to Emperor Shang Jong Parker for him to either sign it or veto it.

The bill was signed into law by Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker on August 7, 2020, and it will take effect by January 1, 2021, during the 2020 Kwanzaa holiday season in the United States.
