What it does
The bill creates a new federal group called the Board for Review and Correction of Historical Injustices. Eight members will be picked by House and Senate leaders. The board will look into claims that federal offices treated people unfairly based on civil rights law. It will take public reports, review the claims, and suggest fixes within 180 days. It will send reports to Congress every three months.
Who it affects
People who say federal offices treated them unfairly gain a formal way to have their claims reviewed. The board will suggest fixes like clearing their names or paying money. Federal offices will face review of their past actions.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say how much money the board will get. The board's actual work depends on Congress approving funding later.
