A bill introduced by U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost in the House seeks to bolster housing discrimination protections by making amendments to the Fair Housing Act, the U.S. Congress reports.
H.R.7765 made its debut on March 3, 2026, during the 119th Congress’s regular session. Below is our summary, drawn from the legislation’s text, clarified for reader understanding.
The proposed measure’s purpose is to change the Fair Housing Act by repealing the Thurmond amendment, which currently addresses aspects of housing discrimination. This action would remove Paragraph (4) from Section 807(b) and assign the next paragraph as Paragraph (4). These adjustments are designed to enhance and clarify anti-discrimination protections in the law, consistent with the bill’s title, the “Fair Future Act.” If approved, this amendment would alter key elements in the nation’s legal protections against housing bias.
Rep. Maxwell Frost (Democrat-FL-10th District) sponsored the bill, with Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (Republican-FL-7th District) as a co-sponsor.
To date in this session, Rep. Frost has filed an additional 18 bills.
Bills in Congress may begin in either the House or Senate, except for revenue items, which must start in the House. Once introduced, measures are directed to committees for analysis, hearings, modifications and discussion before proceeding to chamber-wide votes. Identical legislation approved by both chambers heads to the president for signing or veto. Each congressional term covers two years, is sequentially numbered and includes two regular sessions.
