Amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act to prohibit disparate-impact claims in employment and housing practices.
The Restoring Equal Opportunity Act seeks to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act to prohibit claims alleging discriminatory practices based on disparate impact. Disparate impact refers to employment or housing practices that, while neutral on their face, disproportionately affect certain groups, including protected classes. The bill also nullifies certain regulations related to these acts. The intent is to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability to the maximum degree possible.
