HB 413 -- CIVIL RIGHTS FOR HOMELESS PERSONS

SPONSOR: Price IV

This bill creates the "Bill of Rights for Homeless Persons". A person's rights, privileges, or access to public services may not be denied because such person is homeless.

The bill defines the term "housing status" and prohibits certain forms of discrimination based upon a person's housing status. A court may award damages and other relief in a civil action alleging a violation of this provision.

This bill is the same as HB 1390 (2020).
