Summary

The bill amends California’s fair‑housing law to clarify that public agencies, landlords and other housing providers may favor applicants who use federal, state or local housing subsidies without it being considered illegal discrimination based on source of income. It defines “source of income” and preserves existing anti‑discrimination protections for other protected classes. The change is intended to encourage use of affordable‑housing programs while keeping housing fair for all.
