Mississippi Fair Housing Act; create.

HB 89, the proposed "Mississippi Fair Housing Act," would have prohibited discrimination in housing and real estate transactions based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status. It would have directly affected real estate brokers, sellers, lenders, property owners, and renters by banning discriminatory practices like refusing service, unequal terms, biased advertising, or financial denial. Key provisions included voiding discriminatory housing restrictions (except for religious organizations' housing), prohibiting retaliation against those opposing discrimination, and allowing legal action for violations. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
