Action:
General Review of Fair Housing Regulations
Action 6441
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Real Estate Board (“the Board”) intends to undertake a general regulatory review of the Fair Housing Regulations. The regulation provides the Board's interpretation of the coverage of the fair housing law regarding discrimination related to the sale or rental of dwellings, the related provision of services, the availability of residential real estate-related transactions, or any other discriminatory conduct prohibited by the Virginia Fair Housing Law (Chapter 5.1 of Title 36 of the Code of Virginia). The regulation also provides for the investigation and conciliation of complaints regarding violations of the Virginia Fair Housing Law.
The goals of the action include:
1. Review of discretionary requirements imposed on regulated parties to determine whether such requirements impose burdens that are not necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; or are not necessary to effectively administer the Virginia Fair Housing Law, in accordance with the regulatory reduction goal of Executive Directive Number One (2022);
2. Review to ensure the regulation complements current Virginia law and meets applicable federal requirements, if any;
3. Review to ensure the regulation is organized, clear, and understandable; and
4. Review to ensure the regulation provides minimal burdens on regulants while still protecting the public.
In addition, the review will ensure the regulation reflects current DPOR procedures and policies, along with any other changes determined to be necessary and appropriate. |
