CA SB1427

Adds "veteran or military status" as a protected class in California fair housing law, prohibiting discrimination in housing based on this status alongside existing protections for race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other characteristics.

Specifies that federal Department of Housing and Urban Development Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing vouchers are considered "source of income" under fair housing protections, preventing landlords from discriminating against tenants using these vouchers.

Authorizes the Department of Fair Employment and Housing to investigate complaints of housing discrimination based on veteran or military status and provide mediation and dispute resolution services related to such discrimination.

Requires county recorders, title insurance companies, escrow companies, real estate brokers and agents to place a cover page or stamp on property documents stating that restrictions based on veteran or military status (along with race, color, religion, and other protected classes) violate fair housing laws and are void.

Expands protections for property owners to record Restrictive Covenant Modification documents to remove unlawfully restrictive covenants that discriminate based on veteran or military status, in addition to existing protected characteristics.
