AB 1136 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: housing discrimination.

This bill amends Wisconsin statutes to clarify and expand protections against housing discrimination based on various characteristics including sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, marital and family status, victim status of domestic abuse or stalking, lawful source of income, receipt of rental assistance, age, and ancestry. It explicitly extends state anti-discrimination laws to cover owner-occupied single-family residences, requiring local governments to assist in preventing discrimination in housing sales and rentals. The bill also defines key terms such as "rental or housing assistance" and "small landlord" to ensure consistent application of these protections across different housing situations.
