Overview
This bill clarifies that the ‘Fair Chance in Housing Act’ does not apply to county and municipal landlords who directly rent residential units to tenants. The act aims to expand housing opportunities for people with criminal records, but this bill addresses a potential conflict regarding whether the act’s provisions extend to local government housing operations. It specifically excludes counties and municipalities from being considered ‘housing providers’ under the existing law.
