Malta — Ch. 30 Human Relations § 30-4
Contract policy
Operative Text
The village will not contract with other agencies, banks, businesses, vendors, etc., who practice or establish a pattern of discrimination based on sex, color, race, religion, age, developmentally disabled/handicap, national origin, political affiliation or belief.
Under Malta Chapter 30, Section 30-4, the Village of Malta maintains a contract policy that bars it from entering into agreements with outside entities—including agencies, banks, businesses, and vendors—that engage in or demonstrate a pattern of discriminatory practices based on characteristics such as sex, color, race, religion, age, disability, national origin, or political affiliation or belief. The rule applies to the village's own procurement and contracting decisions, not to private transactions. It reflects a public commitment to ensuring that public funds and partnerships do not support discriminatory organizations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who seek contracts, agreements, or vendor relationships with the Village of Malta should be aware that Ch. 30 § 30-4 makes discriminatory practices—or a demonstrated pattern of them—grounds for disqualification from village contracting. Operators who maintain clear, documented equal-opportunity policies across their business practices are generally better positioned to work with the village. Reviewing internal policies for compliance with the protected categories listed in § 30-4 is a common step taken by entities that regularly pursue municipal contracts.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
While Ch. 30 § 30-4 governs the village's own contracting decisions rather than landlord-tenant relationships directly, tenants may find it relevant if a housing-related entity—such as a property management company or bank—does business with the village while allegedly engaging in discriminatory practices. Tenants who believe a village contractor has discriminated against them on a protected basis may consider raising the issue with village officials or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Documenting any incidents and understanding which protected categories are covered under § 30-4 can be useful when exploring next steps.
