ERASE Racism is pleased to announce that the Suffolk County Legislature passed the new fair housing legislation September 19, 2006 by a 16-2 vote – Legislators Losquadro and Caracappa casting the only dissenting votes. The new law includes some of the key provisions ERASE Racism recommended at the first Public Hearing. The legislation as amended provides Suffolk County residents with stronger fair housing protections and access to a county enforcement system. The legislation will be signed into law by County Executive Levy on September 22, and will go into effect 90-days after the law is filed with the New York Office of the Secretary of State.
