The Fair Future Act would amend the Fair Housing Act by removing the Thurmond amendment, a provision that has limited fair housing protections in certain circumstances. Specifically, the bill would delete section 807(b)(4) of the Fair Housing Act, which contains this amendment, and renumber the remaining provisions accordingly. This change would broaden fair housing protections by eliminating an exception that has restricted the scope of fair housing enforcement. The bill affects housing providers, landlords, and individuals seeking housing, particularly those in groups historically subject to housing discrimination. The legislation contains no specified funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond the standard legislative process.
