Narrow House Vote Exempts Many From Open Housing Law
The House narrowly exempted about 60 percent of housing units from a proposed open housing bill in a 180 to 179 vote. The exemption targets large apartments and new tract developments, while the bill still faces pushes to remove it from the 1966 Civil Rights Bill. An interpreted intent clause could allow a homeowner who refuses a sale to a Black person to direct a real estate agent to complete the transaction. An extra exemption covers owner occupied two to four family dwellings if other units are rented.
