“#Albany lawmakers pass bills aimed at cleaning up housing bias<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

ALBANY \u2014 State Senate Democrats passed a package of bills Monday designed to clean up discriminatory and predatory practices in the housing market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 11 bills includes a measure that would require the state attorney general<\/a>\u2019s office to conduct a yearly investigation into how minorities or other protected class members are treated in the housing market.<\/p>\n

Another bill would mandate that all real estate brokers and sales agents take so-called \u201cimplicit bias\u201d training as past of their licensing courses and a separate piece of legislation would order real estate brokers to collect client demographic data and submit it to the secretary of state.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers crafted legislation and held several hearings following a years-long expose<\/a> by News<\/a>day, which unearthed a pattern of alleged prejudice and unfair treatment of prospective minority home buyers on Long Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no place in New York for housing discrimination and predatory practices,\u201d said state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester).<\/p>\n

\u201cBuying a new home should be a special achievement in a person\u2019s life without the risk of becoming a victim of abhorrent discrimation. I am proud of the Democratic Majority Conference for holding these hearings and issuing an extensive report that has led this continued swift action to end these discriminatory practices and hold bad actors accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-The Bronx) told The Post the chamber \u201ctakes these issues very seriously\u201d and plans to review the proposals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following passage in both chambers, the bills will need to be signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo before becoming law.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
