Fort Walton Beach Realtors president Barbara Faley urged a nationwide campaign to defeat the bill in the House. She warned the measure would curb a seller’s right to choose buyers and, after 1969, allow government to force disposals if a broker is used or if ads indicate racial preference. Potential punitive damages could reach $1,000 plus court costs.
