Rescinding Portions of AmeriCorps Title VI Regulations To Conform More Closely With the Statutory Text and To Implement Executive Order 14281

الملخص

The Corporation for National and Community Service (operating as AmeriCorps) proposes to amend its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI") to eliminate disparate- impact liability. The proposed amendments would align the conduct prohibited by AmeriCorps' regulations with Title VI's original public meaning, avoid constitutional concerns, reduce compliance costs, and serve the public interest. In addition, these revisions would be consistent with Executive Order (E.O.) 14281 and conform to regulatory updates recently finalized by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
