Summary

The bill amends the state’s fair‑housing law to define “source of income” and makes it illegal to refuse to sell, lease, finance, advertise, or inquire about housing or commercial property because of a person’s income source, disability, or use of guide or support animals. It applies to landlords, sellers, lenders, and real‑estate professionals, aiming to protect low‑income households and people with disabilities from bias.
