Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody led a 23-state coalition on April 16 in demanding changes to Title VI “disparate impact” regulations from President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which she argues advances “race-conscious environmental justice initiatives.”
The attorneys general allege that the Biden administration’s EPA has changed Title VI to go beyond the original intent of the Civil Rights Act and to “promote” racial discrimination in violation of the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
