However, the term does not include a practice of a club or fraternal club that requires a specific religious affiliation or belief as a condition of membership in the club or fraternal club.

If the civil rights commission finds that a club, fraternal club, or labor organization has engaged in a discriminatory practice, the civil rights commission shall certify the finding to the alcohol and tobacco commission.
(e) If a club, fraternal club, or labor organization is found to have engaged in a discriminatory practice, the commission shall do one (1) or more of the following:
(1) Issue a warning to the club, fraternal club, or labor organization.
