§ 12955.6

Amended by Stats. 1993, Ch. 1277, Sec. 5.5. Effective January 1, 1994.

Nothing in this part shall be construed to afford to the classes protected under this part, fewer rights or remedies than the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-430) and its implementing regulations (24 C.F.R. 100.1 et seq.), or state law relating to fair employment and housing as it existed prior to the effective date of this section. Any state law that purports to require or permit any action that would be an unlawful practice under this part shall to that extent be invalid. This part may be construed to afford greater rights and

remedies to an aggrieved person than those afforded by federal law and other state laws.
