Rescinding Portions of the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Title VI Regulations To Conform More Closely With the Statutory Text and To Implement Executive Order 14281
What happened
Donald Trump signed a rule amending the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities' (the Foundation) regulations. These changes eliminate "disparate-impact liability" from regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI). This action aims to align regulations with Title VI text, reduce compliance costs, and is consistent with Executive Order 14281.
Why it matters
By eliminating "disparate-impact liability," the government is narrowing the scope of civil rights regulations for the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities. This change aims to reduce costs for those subject to these regulations and ensure they conform more closely with the original statutory text of Title VI.
