Bill overview
This bill updates Nevada’s Fair Housing Law to adopt the ‘disparate impact’ standard. This means that a housing practice can be found discriminatory even if it wasn't intentionally designed to be unfair, as long as it has a discriminatory effect on a protected group. The law clarifies that liability can be established if a practice results in a discriminatory outcome, and outlines a process for demonstrating that a practice is necessary and couldn’t be achieved through a less discriminatory alternative. It also makes conforming changes to the Nevada Fair Housing Law to incorporate these revisions.
