LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1335, as introduced, Eggman. Discrimination: housing: credit history of persons receiving housing subsidies.Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), prohibits various forms of housing discrimination, including prohibiting the owner of a housing accommodation from discriminating against or harassing a person because of specified characteristics, including source of income, as defined, and establishes the Department of Fair Employment and Housing to administer and enforce those provisions.
