September 30, 2018: AB 686 has been signed by Governor Brown and will become law on January 1, 2019! Thank you Governor Brown and Assemblymember Miguel Santiago for supporting this visionary fair housing bill. We will keep you posted on the implementation of AB 686.
About the bill: The bill (AB 686) will maintain California’s commitment to fair housing, and is sponsored by a broad coalition including Public Advocates, Western Center on Law & Poverty and the National Housing Law Project. It is intended to oppose recent federal efforts in this arena – specifically, H.R. 482 and S. 103, both introduced by Republicans in Congress in early January 2018 to undermine a core piece of the 1968 Fair Housing Act.
