Legislation to prohibit local governments from enacting bans on source of income discrimination regarding rentals continues to move through the Kentucky General Assembly.
Versions of the bill have passed both chambers of the legislature. Twice in the Senate after Tuesday’s 25 to 11 vote with five Republicans opposing the GOP-sponsored legislation. The merged measure pertains to all federal housing assistance, not just section eight. Proponents argue landlords shouldn’t be forced to take vouchers. On adjournment, Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer said it’s a philosophical issue for him.
