Bill > SR154

This Resolution urges the Governor to direct all executive agencies to examine and update their existing policies and rules to prevent discrimination in rental agreements and advertisements based on a person's source of income or their participation in housing assistance programs, such as the federal Housing Choice Voucher program, commonly known as Section 8. The resolution highlights that current laws do not adequately protect individuals who rely on these vouchers, leading to difficulties in finding affordable housing, especially for low-income individuals and single mothers, a situation exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It also requests that these agencies report back to the Legislature on their progress in implementing these changes.
