The FTC announced it will no longer bring claims based on disparate impact or unfair discrimination, stating it lacks statutory authority under Section 5 of the FTC Act to pursue such antidiscrimination actions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a narrower scope for antidiscrimination enforcement by the FTC under Section 5, shifting compliance risk away from indirect impact claims. This opens a path to revisit policies previously constrained by disparate impact liability.
