Strengthening Civil Rights: Disparate Impact Lawsuits and Equity Enforcement

This act restores the right for individuals to file lawsuits in cases of discrimination, even if the discrimination was not intentional but had a disproportionate negative effect on a group. It also requires educational institutions to designate an employee to coordinate compliance with equity requirements and creates a new position within the Department of Education to promote and evaluate these efforts. This gives citizens more avenues to seek justice in cases of unequal treatment.
Key points
Easier legal action: You can sue an institution if its actions, even unintentional, lead to unequal treatment.
Increased school accountability: Educational institutions must appoint an employee to handle equity issues and inform students and staff about it.
New support at the Department of Education: A special assistant will be appointed to help enforce anti-discrimination rules and inform citizens of their rights.
