New Fair Housing Laws
In December, Governor Kathy Hochul signed a series of new fair housing bills into law. The New York State Association of REALTORS® worked with state lawmakers over the last two years to strengthen fair housing laws in New York and is committed to educating REALTORS® about these new laws and regulations.
In Governor Hochul’s approval messages for several of these fair housing laws, the governor included a series of technical amendments, or chapter amendments, to amend certain provisions and effective dates of the laws, which the Legislature has agreed to pass early this year. Click here for a description of the new fair housing laws along with the proposed chapter amendments where applicable.
