The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 363A.09, by adding a new subdivision that prohibits discrimination in housing based on a tenant's source of income. Specifically, it states that landlords cannot discriminate against tenants who utilize federal, state, or local government rental assistance, including housing choice vouchers. This includes prohibiting landlords from denying tenants the opportunity to view or apply for rental units, as well as from advertising that they will not rent to individuals using such assistance.

The new legal language emphasizes the protection of tenants who rely on public assistance to pay rent, ensuring they have equal access to housing opportunities. By implementing these provisions, the bill aims to promote fair housing practices and reduce discrimination based on income sources in the rental market.
