Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This bill nullifies specific Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rules, interim rules, and a notice related to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), and bars federal funds from creating or maintaining a federal geospatial database on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing.
It requires the HUD Secretary to consult with State, local, and public housing agency officials to develop recommendations consistent with the Fair Housing Act and Supreme Court rulings.
The bill sets detailed consultation procedures, a public review period, and requires a draft and final report describing consensus and disagreements.
Narrow, deregulatory bill with high ideological salience—feasible in one chamber but faces steep opposition and procedural barriers in the other.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear substantive policy change that precisely identifies specific administrative rules and a notice to be nullified and imposes a categorical prohibition on specified Federal funding. It supplements that substantive effect with a defined consultation and reporting process requiring HUD to engage State and local officials and publish draft and final reports within specified timelines.

Likely opposed.
The bill removes HUD AFFH rules and blocks a federal geospatial database, undermining federal tools to identify and remedy segregation.
It replaces regulatory action with a consultation process that could delay or prevent enforcement.
Mixed view.
The bill favors local consultation and limits a federal database, which appeals to concerns about federalism, but it also removes HUD’s AFFH rules and may impair evidence-based enforcement.
Seeks balance between local control and civil-rights enforcement.
Generally supportive.
The bill nullifies AFFH rules viewed as federal micromanagement, bans a federal racial-disparities mapping database, and raises state and local voices in policymaking.
It emphasizes local control and limits federal influence over zoning.
