3.0.0 1995 2023-01-11T13:27:36Z 2023-01-11T13:27:36Z House HR 2015-04-23 114 [Congressional Record Volume 161, Number 60 (Thursday, April 23, 2015)]From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov]By Mr. GOSAR:H.R. 1995.Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuantto the following:Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 affords Congress the powerto legislate on this matter. The executive branch, throughthe Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), hasmisinterpreted its authority under the Fair Housing Act of1968, as demonstrated in its Affirmatively Furthering FairHousing Rule. Two cases before the United States SupremeCourt--Magner v. Gallagher and Mount Holly v. Mount HollyGardens Citizens in Action--were settled less than a monthbefore the Court entertained oral arguments. The plaintiffswere concerned that their challenges would not be affirmed bythe Court. The Court is currently considering a case, TexasDepartment of Housing and Community Affairs v. The InclusiveCommunities Project, which may set a precedent for the issueof ``disparate impact.'' Regardless, Congress has thelegislative authority to address the Affirmatively FurtheringFair Housing rule head on and prevent that rule, or anysubstantially similar successor rule.Section 3 of the bill promotes a core component of ourrepublic known as federalism. It requires the executivebranch, through HUD, to consult with State and localofficials to further the purposes and policies of the FairHousing Act.[Page H2465]]]> hsju00 Judiciary Committee House Standing hsju10 Constitution and Limited Government Subcommittee Referred to 2015-05-15T17:28:01Z Referred to 2015-04-23T13:03:45Z 2015-05-15 hsju10 Constitution and Limited Government Subcommittee 1 House committee actions Referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice.
