The City of Tampa moved to end the Racial Reconciliation Committee (RRC), citing changes to federal law, according to a memo.

The City of Tampa's website states the RRC held workshops as early as December 2024. According to the site, it was created to review, study, and make recommendations to the City Council and the City of Tampa about affordable housing, economic development, youth opportunities, ignored history, and returning citizens and restoration rights.

In a memorandum to the Tampa City Council, City Attorney Andrea Zelman concluded the committee would need to be discontinued to comply with federal law.

The City Attorney said continuing the committee "puts the City at risk of becoming subject to a federal enforcement action and/or losing access to federal funds."
