Governor Dan McKee, joined by House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi, Senate President Dominick J. Ruggerio and legislative sponsors, today signed into law the Fair Housing Practices Act which prohibits housing discrimination against renters based on their source of income.
“For far too long, residents and families across Rhode Island have been discriminated against because of their source of income – it’s wrong, and it’s time we put an end to it,” said Governor McKee. “April is Fair Housing Month and I am glad to sign this bill into law, opening the door to renters around the state to have a fairer, more equitable chance at finding a place to call home. I thank all the legislators and advocates who worked incredibly hard to address this crucial issue head on.”
