This legislation, titled the Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act of 2025, aims to nullify specific regulations and notices issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It explicitly states that the proposed, interim final, and final rules concerning "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing" , along with any substantially similar successor rules, shall have no force or effect. The bill also nullifies a related HUD notice regarding the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Assessment Tool. Beyond nullification, the bill prohibits the use of any federal funds to design, build, maintain, or utilize a federal database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or access to affordable housing. Furthermore, it requires the Secretary of HUD to consult jointly with state officials, local government officials, and public housing agencies to develop recommendations for furthering the purposes of the Fair Housing Act, emphasizing consensus and transparency in this process. The Secretary must publish a draft report of these recommendations within 12 months, followed by a public review period and a final report.
