Plain English

Indiana Code § 22-9.5-4-5 requires the state civil rights commission to fulfill two ongoing obligations: publishing a written report at least once a year that recommends legislative or other action to advance fair housing goals, and conducting studies on the nature and extent of discriminatory housing practices across Indiana. These duties are designed to keep policymakers and the public informed about housing discrimination trends and potential remedies. The provision does not create individual rights or remedies but establishes a framework for ongoing governmental oversight and research.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers who stay informed about these reports can better understand the regulatory landscape and the types of practices that draw scrutiny. Reviewing the commission's published findings is a way for housing operators to remain aware of evolving fair housing standards and legislative recommendations.

For Tenants

Ind. Code § 22-9.5-4-5 gives tenants access to a publicly available body of research and annual recommendations produced by the state commission on discriminatory housing practices. These reports can serve as a resource for understanding the broader landscape of housing discrimination in Indiana and may support awareness of rights under the fair housing article. Tenants who believe they have experienced discriminatory housing practices may consult the commission's published materials or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
