Bill > HR3445

This bill, the Equity and Inclusion Enforcement Act of 2023, aims to amend Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to restore the right to individual civil actions in cases involving disparate impact, which refers to policies or practices that appear neutral but have a disproportionate adverse effect on a protected group. The bill requires each recipient of federal education funding to designate an employee to coordinate compliance efforts and investigate any complaints related to Title VI. Additionally, the bill establishes a new position within the Department of Education, the Special Assistant for Equity and Inclusion, who will promote, coordinate, and evaluate efforts to ensure program compliance with Title VI and inform individuals of their rights under the Act.
