 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to protections for
 renters using certain housing subsidies or public assistance

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 296 of the executive law is amended by adding a new
 2 subdivision 2-b to read as follows:
 3 2-b. (a) Prohibited minimum income requirements for housing subsidy or
 4 voucher recipients. For purposes of subdivisions two-a and five of this
 5 section, it shall constitute unlawful discrimination because of lawful
 6 source of income to commit any practice prohibited by such subdivisions
 7 based upon the amount of a person's income where such person uses or
 8 will use a housing subsidy or voucher that is provided by a public or
 9 non-profit entity that issues rental payment, whether partial or full,
 10 made directly to the housing provider, including but not limited to a
 11 voucher under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42
 12 U.S.C. § 1437f), and the monthly rent is within the rental payment
 13 limits allowable by such housing subsidy or voucher provider under
 14 program rules or regulations.
 15 (b) Prohibited minimum income requirements for public assistance
 16 recipients. For purposes of subdivisions two-a and five of this
 17 section, it shall constitute unlawful discrimination because of lawful
 18 source of income to commit any practice prohibited by such subdivisions
 19 based upon the amount of a person's income where such person uses or
 20 will use housing assistance or public assistance that is provided by a
 21 public or non-profit entity that issues rental payment, whether partial
 22 or full, made directly to the housing provider and the individual's
 23 portion of the monthly rent would be one-third or less of such individ-
 24 ual's monthly gross income.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
