The proposed bill aims to prohibit the submission of any deed or other instrument of writing to the county clerk's office that includes discriminatory restrictive covenants or gender-specific language. It declares such covenants void as against public policy and mandates their removal from any documents affecting the transfer of real property before they can be recorded. The bill also allows for the inclusion of a statement in deeds or instruments indicating that any discriminatory restrictive covenant is void.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language that specifies that any covenant attached to real property that restricts ownership, residency, or use based on protected classes is void. It prohibits the use of gender-specific language in deeds and allows county clerks to reject any documents that do not comply with these requirements. Furthermore, it requires that any person preparing a deed must remove any offending language and provides a disclaimer to affirm the state's policy against discrimination in real property ownership.
