The Washington Senate has voted to help property owners remove racially-discriminatory language from some of their homes’ documents.
The bill was approved unanimously and sponsored by Issaquah Democrat Mark Mullet. This bill does two important things, he said. The first is it allows those deeds with the racial restrictions to be removed from the underlying document. Two, we provide money for Eastern Washington University and the University of Washington so they can actually go through various deeds and covenants throughout our state so they can alert homeowners, to people who do have these racial covenants in their property deeds and have them removed, Mullet said.
