Bill > HR6

This resolution condemns the judicial doctrine of "disparate impact," which is a legal concept that allows claims of discrimination to be proven by showing unequal outcomes, even without proving intentional bias. The resolution argues that this doctrine relies on flawed statistical analysis and is part of a broader "critical legal theory" approach that inappropriately interprets legal causation. Specifically, the resolution criticizes the practice of using univariate analysis (examining single variables) to draw complex conclusions about causation in legal contexts. The resolution calls for overturning the disparate impact doctrine, asserting that it undermines constitutional principles, limits state powers, and potentially imposes unwarranted regulatory actions and legal liabilities. As a formal step, the resolution directs that copies be sent to the President, New Hampshire's congressional delegation, and the state's governor, signaling a formal rejection of this judicial approach and seeking to challenge its legitimacy in legal interpretations.
