What’s in it

AI summary Currently, local governments are not allowed to pass rules that stop landlords from refusing to rent to people using federal housing vouchers. This bill would change that rule so cities and counties could potentially allow landlords to refuse those tenants. This change would affect how rental housing is managed in local communities.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to county and city regulation of rental housing and federal housing choice voucher use. Under current law, a county or a city shall not adopt or enforce an ordinance or regulation that prohibits a person having the right to lease, sublease, or rent out a dwelling unit from refusing to rent a dwelling out to a person because the person is using a federal housing choice voucher. A “dwelling unit” means a structure or the part of a structure that is used as a home, residence, or sleeping place. The bill strikes this prohibition on counties and cities.
