AI-use reference. EffectiveDecember10 2025. Applies to: DOJ Title VI regulations and covered DOJ-assisted programs; not an amendment to every agency's regulations or to other civil-rights statutes. Requirements or purpose: Removes DOJ regulatory disparate-impact liability provisions and aligns DOJ's regulation with its stated intentional-discrimination interpretation of Title VI. Limits: Do not generalize this into a repeal of federal antidiscrimination law, Title VII's statutory disparate-impact provision or the Fair Housing Act. Other federal funding agencies and judicial precedent require separate scope analysis.
