Ending Disparate Impact Claims in Employment and Housing

This bill aims to prevent lawsuits based on the argument that certain practices, while appearing neutral, disproportionately affect specific social groups in employment and housing. This means citizens will not be able to sue companies or property owners for practices that are not intentionally discriminatory but may lead to unequal outcomes for different groups.
Key points
Employers cannot be sued for practices that are not intentionally discriminatory but may have an unequal impact on different employee groups.
Property owners cannot be sued for practices that are not intentionally discriminatory but may have an unequal impact on different housing seekers.
Certain existing regulations related to disparate impact in civil rights law will be nullified.
