HB 617 prohibits housing discrimination based on veteran status. It amends the Property Code to align veteran status with existing protected categories such as race, religion, and familial status, ensuring equal treatment in real estate transactions and housing services. Municipalities certified for fair housing enforcement must also address veteran status in their anti-discrimination regulations. This legislation strengthens protections for veterans, aiming to reduce barriers they may face in accessing housing.
