Bill > SB2139

This bill requires county clerks to remove discriminatory language from existing property plats, which are official maps of land divisions. Specifically, it amends existing law to allow municipalities to amend plats by adopting an ordinance and then directing the county clerk to redact, remove, or strike out the discriminatory language. This process involves providing the county clerk with a copy of the plat showing the language to be removed, along with a reference to where the original plat is recorded. The bill clarifies that this action does not require the approval of property owners within the addition and that any discriminatory restrictive covenants on plats are unenforceable and void. The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C., Section 3601 et seq.) is mentioned as the basis for identifying such illegal discriminatory language. This act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
