Relates to discrimination against owners of specific breeds of dog
This bill prohibits housing discrimination based on dog breed, size, or weight. It prevents public housing authorities and landlords from denying occupancy, evicting tenants, or restricting leases solely because a tenant owns a specific dog breed. The law allows reasonable safety rules for all dogs (including dangerous dogs under existing law) but bans blanket breed restrictions. It applies to public housing projects and private rental properties, taking effect immediately upon passage.
