Eliminates the ability to bring federal disparate-impact lawsuits in employment and housing law, defines what counts as a "disparate impact," and voids two specific prior administrative approvals and the regulations they authorized. The bill replaces the disparate-impact private right of action in Title VII employment law and bars disparate-impact suits under the Fair Housing Act, shifting enforcement away from disparate-impact claims and narrowing legal remedies for claims of practices that have disproportionate effects on protected groups.
Adds a new subsection (c) to 42 U.S.C. 3607 that prohibits bringing actions or proceedings under the Fair Housing Act for claims alleging discriminatory housing practices based on disparate impact and provides a definition of "disparate impact" for housing practices.
Strikes existing subsection (k) of 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2 and inserts a new subsection (k) that prohibits bringing disparate-impact claims under Title VII.
