An Act to end housing discrimination in the Commonwealth

HD 2049 creates a new real estate licensing board in Massachusetts with specific requirements to combat housing discrimination. It mandates that real estate brokers and salespeople complete mandatory fair housing training (4 hours for new applicants, 4 hours during license renewal) and requires the board to publicly report discrimination complaints and disciplinary actions quarterly. The bill also updates enforcement by extending license suspensions for repeat violations of fair housing laws from 90 to 180 days and requires the board to suspend licenses following final court findings of discrimination. This directly affects licensed real estate professionals in Massachusetts through new training, reporting, and disciplinary requirements.
