HB 4063 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Civil rights: housing discrimination; housing discrimination based on source of income; prohibit. Amends title & sec. 501 of 1976 PA 453 (MCL 37.2501).

This bill amends Michigan's civil rights law to explicitly prohibit housing discrimination based on a person's source of income. It applies to landlords, property managers, and real estate brokers who sell, rent, or lease residential properties. By adding "source of income" to the list of protected categories, the legislation ensures that individuals cannot be denied housing or treated differently because of how they pay their rent, such as using housing vouchers. The law takes effect on April 2, 2025, provided that two companion bills are also enacted into law.
