Ends a legal way to challenge job and housing practices that unintentionally harm groups
This bill would stop people from filing lawsuits over job and housing practices that unintentionally harm certain groups. Currently, individuals can challenge practices that have a disproportionate effect, even if there was no intent to discriminate. If passed, this bill would remove that option for many Americans and cancel federal rules that support such claims.
Currently, people can file lawsuits if a job or housing practice, even one that seems fair, ends up unfairly affecting certain groups of people. This is known as a "disparate impact" claim. If this bill becomes law, individuals would no longer be able to bring these types of claims for employment or housing discrimination, and specific federal rules that support these claims would be canceled.
