Chair of the Federal Trade Commission

Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy

This executive order eliminates disparate-impact liability across federal civil rights enforcement, revoking presidential approvals of Title VI regulations dating to 1966 and 1973. It directs agencies to deprioritize enforcement of statutes and regulations incorporating disparate-impact theories, requires review of pending investigations and litigation, and mandates repeal or amendment of related regulations.
