What this bill would do

The Restoring Equal Opportunity Act aims to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act. Its primary purpose is to prohibit disparate-impact claims. This would prevent actions or proceedings based on practices that are neutral on their face but have a disproportionate effect on certain groups. The bill specifically targets employment practices and housing practices. Additionally, it seeks to nullify certain Presidential approvals of specific regulations.
