The bill would amend the Property Code relating to state and municipal actions to ensure compliance with fair housing requirements.
The bill would create a Governor’s Fair Housing Advisory Council of which the executive director of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) would serve as the presiding officer. The bill directs the Council to review the design and delivery of state programs to ensure the affirmative furthering of fair housing. Specifically, the Council must (1) propose revisions to existing programs and activities; (2) develop pilot programs and activities; and (3) propose new programs and activities. In support of the Council’s goals, TDHCA would be required to provide assistance to all state agencies in the formulation of policies to affirmatively further fair housing goals and to provide information and guidance on affirmative administration of housing and urban development programs and the protection of fair housing rights. TDHCA must also develop memorandums of understanding with other state agencies to further fair housing and develop an annual report describing the progress of TDHCA and other state agencies in carrying out responsibilities detailed.
The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote in each house. If the bill does not receive a two-thirds vote in each house, it would take effect September 1, 2009.
