AI Summary
This bill says that people can bring a civil rights case when a policy or rule causes unequal harm to certain groups, even if no one meant to discriminate. In simple terms, if a rule that looks fair on its face ends up hurting some populations more than others, that outcome alone can be enough to go to court under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
This would shift attention to real-world results, not just intent. It could make it easier for people to challenge policies that consistently lead to unequal outcomes in everyday life.
- Who is affected: People in certain populations, and those whose policies and practices are judged under the Civil Rights Act.
- What changes: Clarifies that unequal effects (also called “disparate impacts”) can be enough to bring a case, without needing to prove someone meant to discriminate.
- When: The provided text does not state an effective date.
