Bill Summary
Relative to housing discrimination for domestic violence survivors. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase fair housing protections for domestic violence survivors. It defines the term "survivor of domestic violence" to include victims of various crimes such as domestic violence, abuse, rape, sexual assault, stalking, and criminal harassment. The bill amends the state's fair housing law to prohibit discrimination in housing-related transactions, including mortgage lending and rental/sale of housing accommodations, based on a person's status as a survivor of domestic violence. It also establishes a presumption that a party claiming discrimination on this basis is a survivor of domestic violence if they provide certain documentation, such as a protection order or written verification from the victim or a qualified third party.
