Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy

The order directs federal agencies to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability to the maximum extent possible. The Attorney General is tasked with initiating action to repeal or amend regulations that contemplate disparate-impact liability, particularly in relation to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Additionally, all agencies are directed to deprioritize enforcement of statutes and regulations that include disparate-impact liability. The order also revokes certain Presidential approvals of regulations related to disparate-impact liability under 42 U.S.C. 2000d-1.
