Disparate Impact Proposed Rule Comment Period Close Date

Close of HUD’s public comment period on the proposed rule to remove HUD’s existing disparate impact regulatory framework. The 30-day public comment period closed on this date for the proposed rule that would remove HUD’s discriminatory effects rule and leave interpretation of disparate impact liability under the Fair Housing Act to the courts. The source notes substantial opposition from civil rights, fair housing, and housing advocacy organizations, along with some support from selected appraisal and policy organizations.
