Bill > H3336

This bill amends South Carolina's housing discrimination law to explicitly protect individuals from discrimination based on disability or source of income in various housing-related activities. The legislation expands existing protections to make it unlawful to refuse to sell, rent, negotiate, or make housing unavailable to someone because of their disability or income source. The bill covers multiple aspects of housing transactions, including advertising, property representation, real estate services, and financial transactions. Specifically, it prohibits discriminatory practices in selling or renting dwellings, publishing housing-related notices, representing property availability, inducing property transactions, and accessing real estate services. The law applies to a wide range of housing-related interactions, including loan processing, property appraisals, and brokering, ensuring that individuals cannot be treated differently due to their disability status or how they receive their income. The bill will take effect immediately upon the Governor's approval, strengthening legal protections against housing discrimination in South Carolina.
