SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Exemptions to the fair housing law. Removes exemption of single-family house from the Fair Housing Law section relating to restrictive covenants. Section 36-96.6 states in pertinent part that any restrictive covenant based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, familial status, or handicap is void and against Virginia public policy. The above change to the Fair Housing Law exemptions makes § 36-96.6 applicable to single-family homes and their owners.
