AI Summary

  • Allows property owners to file a statutory form with county recorders to permanently remove restrictive covenants that discriminate based on protected classes (race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or sexual orientation).

  • Requires county recorders to accept the discharge form when it has been notarized and contains the legal property description.

  • Directs the commissioner of commerce to provide electronic copies of the statutory form to the public at no cost.

  • Establishes that filing the form does not alter the duration or expiration of other covenants, conditions, or restrictions unrelated to protected classes.
