Legislative History

(P.A. 90-257, S. 13, 17; P.A. 91-362, S. 2.) History: P.A. 91-362 designated existing language as Subsec. (a) and added new Subsec. (b) establishing an affirmative duty for housing agencies to promote fair housing choice and racial and economic integration in their programs. Subsec. (b): Trial court properly determined that there is no private right of action pursuant to Subsec; its purpose is made clear by legislature's placement of directive in an administrative chapter; that purpose is not consistent with an implied right of action, instead legislative directive is linked to strong reporting requirements that enable legislative and executive oversight for compliance. 277 C. 238.
