A compromise fair housing bill was approved Tuesday in the Kansas House of Representatives by a vote of 116-0. Senate approval had come Monday, so the bill will now to to Gov. Robert Docking, who is expected to sign it.
Compromise fair housing bill approved by Kansas House
One of the compromises involved was the insertion of a provision allowing the attorney general or county attorney to represent plaintiffs. The Civil Rights Commission can settle most complaints without the necessity of a district court trial.
The bill is designed to prohibit discrimination in the sale, rental or financing of owner-occupied residences of four or fewer units, commercial buildings and vacant lands. The Kansas Civil Rights Commission played an active role in the passage of the bill.
A person who believes he has been discriminated against would first file his complaint with the Civil Rights Commission. If medication failed, the commission could conduct a hearing. If the complaint was found justified the commission could issue an order for the property owner to cease discriminating.
If this order failed, a suit may

Gov. Docking, who had called for a fair housing law in messages to both the 1969 and 1970 legislatures, will give priority attention to the bill. He is expected to sign the bill into law soon.
The passage ended a seven year struggle for a fair housing bill. The issue was first raised in 1963, and the legislature conducted a study on the matter. It was decided that discrimination did exist, and a bill was proposed in 1967. Since then the bill has moved from the House to the Senate and from committee to committee, but no law was ever passed.
Rep. James P. Davis, D-Kansas City, a strong civil rights proponent, said the bill wouldn't solve the problem of discrimination but would ease it.
Homer Floyd, former University of Kansas football star and executive director of the Civil Rights Commission, described the bill as "a workable compromise."
