AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO FAIR HOUSING AND DISPARATE IMPACT LIABILITY.

Summary

The bill adds new definitions and creates a liability framework that makes neutral‑looking housing policies unlawful if they produce a disparate impact on protected classes. A plaintiff must first show the effect, then the defendant must prove the policy is necessary for a legitimate interest and that no less‑discriminatory alternative exists. It covers rentals, sales, lending, screening, zoning and other housing‑related decisions.
