General Services Administration Property Management Regulation (GSPMR): Nondiscrimination in Programs Receiving Federal Financial Assistance
Plain English Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has updated its rules to prevent discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs that receive federal funding. These rules have been moved to a new set of regulations called the General Services Administration Property Management Regulations (GSPMR). The changes aim to make the rules clearer and more efficient, aligning them with recent updates from the U.S. Department of Justice. Insurance agents should be aware of these updates as they may affect compliance requirements for programs that receive federal assistance.

The General Services Administration (GSA) revises its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) and moves those regulations from the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) to the General Services Administration Property Management Regulations (GSPMR). Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance. This final rule updates GSA's Title VI regulations to reflect current statutory interpretation, applicable executive orders, and government- wide regulatory structure. This final rule also improves clarity, consistency, and administrative efficiency. These revisions align with changes made by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to its Title VI Regulations.
