One could argue that the original title as misleading. As it does not say what the bill actually does. In this case a plain English description of the results seems reasonable.

Well, I don't see anything about race discrimination in the language, and it seems to be about whether zoning should be done on a local level rather than by the federal government.

The language in Sec 3 is specifically "database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing". It is true that disparities may arise from either discrimination or other sources.
