Relating to housing discrimination based on minor status; prescribing an effective date.
HB 3523 prohibits housing discrimination based on "minor status" (a person under 18) in real property transactions like renting or buying homes. It adds "minor status" to Oregon's existing fair housing protections, making it illegal for landlords, real estate agents, or housing providers to refuse to rent or sell property to families with minors. The law applies to all housing transactions covered by Oregon's fair housing law, with limited exceptions for past conduct or inability to pay rent (consistent with existing rules). It takes effect 91 days after Oregon's legislative session ends.
