Yes, but the government should basically allow the private sector to enforce it. If, for just one example, a person who felt discriminated against could lllllllgo to a place like small claims court where issues could be quickly and cheaply heard, make the complaint, let the other party make their defense, decide whether the exclusion was justified or unlawful, then if it were to contine significant fines could be imposed -- significant relative to the size of business. Say, one day's gross income for the first offense, one week's for the second offence, one month's for the third offense -- I doubt there would be a fourth, because no person or business would risk an entire year's gross earnings on a fourth offense.
