AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Fair Chance Access to Housing Act," would prohibit housing providers in California from inquiring about, requiring disclosure of, or basing adverse actions on an applicant's criminal history, unless required by federal law. The bill requires housing providers to notify applicants of their rights and provide an opportunity to respond before denying housing based on criminal history. It also creates a private right of action for applicants who suffer harm due to violations, and requires affordable housing providers to annually certify compliance. The bill aims to address barriers to housing access for formerly incarcerated individuals and reduce recidivism by increasing access to housing in California.
