House OKs bill allowing homeowners to reject racially restrictive covenants

Homeowners who find racially restrictive covenants on their property titles could have an opportunity to place an affidavit on that title rejecting the covenant, under a bill passed 128-0 by the House Monday.

Sponsored by Rep. Jim Davnie (DFL-Mpls), HF51 heads to the Senate where Sen. Jeff Hayden (DFL-Mpls) is the sponsor.

“This bill confronts historical inequities so that we can also attack the inequities of today,” Davnie said.
