HB 832 -- RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Urban Issues by a vote of 11 to 0.

This bill provides that any restrictive real estate covenant

association fails to remove a restrictive covenant within 30 days
of receiving a written request to do so, injunctive relief may be
granted to any individual or organization requesting the removal.

have been a problem for various groups of people when obtaining
housing in certain areas.
