HR 697 United States House · 118th Congress

Justice for All Act of 2023

The Justice for All Act of 2023 restores private rights to challenge discrimination that has a disparate impact under civil rights laws, which was limited by a 2001 Supreme Court decision. It clarifies the standard for demonstrating disparate impact and requires entities to show policies are necessary for nondiscriminatory goals, while expanding protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in public accommodations and banning mandatory arbitration for civil rights disputes. The bill directly affects individuals who experience discrimination, covered entities like schools and government agencies, and businesses receiving federal funding. It aims to strengthen civil rights enforcement by making it easier to seek remedies in court for discriminatory practices.
