Action:
General Review of Fair Housing Certification Regulations
Action 6430
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Fair Housing Board (“the Board”) intends to undertake a general regulatory review of the Virginia Fair Housing Certification Regulations. The regulation provides for the education-based certification of persons subject to the Virginia Fair Housing Law (Chapter 5.1 of Title 36 of the Code of Virginia) who are in the business of selling or renting dwellings, except for those individuals who are licensed by the Real Estate Board. The regulation also provides for the approval of proprietary schools and fair housing courses.
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 certification program, 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.
