Title VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2

The effects-based language in employment discrimination law. Subsection (a)(2)‘s phrase “otherwise adversely affect” is the counterpart to the Fair Housing Act’s “otherwise make unavailable or deny” (fha-42-usc-3604) — both are the effects language the CFPB’s Regulation B final rule says ECOA lacks.

Docketed by THE CONCESSION, which quotes (a)(2) directly.

🔴 This is the most serious of the three records filed 2026-08-04, because THE CONCESSION QUOTES THIS STATUTE VERBATIM ON A PUBLISHED PAGE and there was no source record behind the quotation. The quotation itself is sound — checked character for character against the U.S. Code on 2026-08-04 and it matches, including “deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee.”

The quote was right and the record was missing, and no gate in this house could tell the difference. A receipt gate verifies the quotations it is pointed at; nothing was pointed at this one, because nothing checked that a docketed statute had a record. Found by scripts/source_join_gate.py on its first live run.
