Comments due on HUD ANPR on disparate impact standard

08/20/2018
Status: 

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has published [83 FR 28560] an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to invite public comment on possible amendments to HUD's 2013 final rule implementing the Fair Housing Act's disparate impact standard, as well as the 2016 supplement to HUD's responses to certain insurance industry comments made during the rulemaking. HUD is reviewing the final rule and supplement to determine what changes, if any, are appropriate following the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., which held that disparate impact claims were cognizable under the Fair Housing Act and discussed standards for, and the constitutional limitations on, such claims. Comments are due by August 20, 2018.
