59. 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act

Sun Sep 3, 2023, 02:05 PM

Sep 2023

Originally the provision for women was not there. Lindy Boggs added the provision banning discrimination due to sex or marital status without informing the other members of the banking committee beforehand. Later she simply said she realized it was missing and added it assuming the omission was an oversight with "I'm sure you'll approve." And they did.

Lindy Boggs was an interesting woman, worth reading about. Look her up.
