Mississippi Fair Housing Act; enact.

SB 2421, the "Mississippi Fair Housing Act," prohibits housing discrimination based on religion, race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or familial status in real estate transactions and financing. It directly affects real estate brokers, sellers, lenders, and property owners by banning discriminatory practices like refusing service, imposing different terms, or making misleading statements about housing availability. Key provisions include voiding discriminatory restrictions in property sales/leases, prohibiting biased financing applications, and protecting against retaliation for reporting violations. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
