This vote recommendation, sent on June 3, 2015 to the House of Representatives, calls on Representatives to oppose Rep. Scott Garrett’s (R-NJ) Amendment to H.R. 2578, the fiscal year 2016 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (“CJS”) Appropriations Act of 2016. Rep. Garrett’s Amendment would prohibit the Department of Justice (DOJ) from using funds made available in the FY 2016 CJS appropriations bill for pursuing claims that rely on the disparate impact rule.
