Bill overview
The Fair Future Act seeks to remove a discriminatory provision from the Fair Housing Act known as the Thurmond amendment. This amendment, originally enacted in 1974, had been interpreted to allow landlords to refuse to rent to individuals receiving public assistance. By repealing this section, the bill aims to ensure equal housing opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their source of income or assistance programs they may utilize. This change would strengthen protections against housing discrimination.
