The bill trades a small reduction in administrative burden for housing agencies against a risk that removing an obsolete paragraph might inadvertently eliminate or obscure protections or enforcement language affecting renters and homeowners.
Local and state housing agencies, and nonprofits that administer housing programs, will face slightly less administrative complexity because an obsolete paragraph in the Fair Housing Act is removed.
Renters and homeowners (including members of protected classes) could lose an explicitly stated safeguard or clarity about duties and protections if the removed paragraph contained substantive rights or enforcement language.
Based on analysis of 4 sections of legislative text.
Deletes paragraph (4) of 42 U.S.C. §3607(b) and renumbers the subsequent paragraph.
