AN ACT PROHIBITING A HOUSING PROVIDER FROM CONSIDERING A PROSPECTIVE TENANT'S FELONY CONVICTION RECORD AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.

SB 993 prohibits landlords and housing providers from considering a prospective tenant's felony conviction record when reviewing rental applications after a specific time period has passed since the conviction. This law directly affects individuals with past felony convictions who are applying for housing, preventing housing providers from using those records as a basis for denial. The key provision establishes a time limit after which felony convictions cannot be factored into rental decisions, aiming to reduce barriers for people with criminal records who have maintained a clean record. The bill focuses on concrete policy change by restricting the use of past felony records in tenant screening processes.
