In the course of considering House Bill No. 6286, the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee heard testimony from the commission’s executive director. He testified that, since the 1989 enactment of the prohibition against discrimination based on source of income, the commission consistently had interpreted that provision to mean that a landlord’s refusal to sign a standardized section 8 lease because that landlord did not want to accept the lease’s set terms constituted a banned discriminatory practice.
