The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has formally ended certain civil-rights-era anti-discrimination requirements for the lending industry, following a directive from President Donald Trump to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses. The change removes the requirement for lenders to prevent policies with unintentionally discriminatory results, known as 'disparate impacts', under the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Prohibitions against explicit and intentional discrimination remain in place.
