Bill > SB1154

This bill, the Michigan Fair Chance Access to Housing Act, prohibits landlords from requiring certain disclosures from rental applicants regarding their criminal records, except in limited circumstances. It establishes a process for landlords to evaluate applicants based on their eligibility criteria, and requires landlords to provide applicants with a conditional offer before considering their criminal records. The bill also grants the Department of Attorney General the authority to investigate and enforce violations of the act, and requires the department to create a form summarizing applicants' rights under the law. The bill aims to provide opportunities for individuals with criminal records to access housing, while also allowing landlords to consider certain serious offenses in their rental decisions.
