HR 6 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

condemning the judicial doctrine of "disparate impact".

HR 6 is a symbolic House resolution condemning the judicial doctrine of "disparate impact," which courts use to assess whether policies unintentionally cause unequal outcomes. It claims this doctrine relies on flawed "univariate analysis" and links it to controversial legal theories, arguing it unjustly expands government liability. The resolution urges courts to overturn this doctrine but has no legal force - it does not change laws or regulations. It was referred to committee and deemed "inexpedient to legislate" with a 15-2 vote against it. The resolution directly addresses federal courts, not affected communities or government agencies.
