Proposed rule

Nondiscrimination in Federally-Assisted Programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register June 26, 2026. Document 2026-12924. Updated Nov. 9, 2026.

What it does

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) to eliminate disparate-impact liability. These amendments would align VA's regulations with Title VI's original public meaning, avoid constitutional concerns, reduce compliance costs, serve the public interest, and implement changes directed in Executive Order (E.O.) 14281. This is a deregulatory action in furtherance of E.O. 14219, which requires that Federal regulations reflect the best reading of the underlying statutory authority.

The Veterans Affairs Department's summary, as published in the Federal Register.

What it would change

38 CFR 18
