The legislation outlawed race discrimination in areas not covered by the 1976 legislation; introduced a broader definition of "public authorities" that included public functions performed by private organisations; required public authorities to promote racial equality; empowered the Home Secretary to extend the list of public bodies required to promote race equality and to impose specific duties on those bodies, and empowered the Commission for Racial Equality to enforce those duties and to issue codes of practice on how to fulfil their specific and general duties to promote racial equality; allowed race discrimination claims against educational bodies to be brought to court immediately; made chief police officers liable for discrimination carried out by their officers; and abolished the power of government ministers to issue conclusive certificates in race claims to the effect that given acts of race discrimination were not unlawful because they were done for the purposes of national security.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2001/feb/22/equality.raceequality|title=Summary: the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000|date=22 February 2001|accessdate=11 January 2019|work=The Guardian}} {{UK-statute-stub}} 3 : United Kingdom Acts of Parliament 2000|Anti-discrimination law in the United Kingdom|Race relations in the United Kingdom |
