Exemption In Housing Bias Code Faces House Vote
The House judiciary committee approved a Mathias substitute exempting owners of up to four family homes who sell or lease themselves from the open housing ban while real estate agents face prohibitions. If an owner uses a broker and orders bias, the broker may also be exempt, with only two such transactions allowed per year. The move would largely exclude private housing from the bill.
