§ 32-1. Declaration of policy.

It is the intent of this chapter to prohibit discrimination in housing within the boundaries of the County of Fond du Lac, except for those municipalities within the county that have a current fair housing ordinance in effect, that pursuant to the authority granted to counties by Wis. Stat. 66.1011, it is the duty of the County of Fond du Lac to assist in the orderly prevention or removal of all discrimination in housing through the powers granted by the State of Wisconsin. It is declared, therefore, to be the policy of the County of Fond du Lac, in the exercise of its police power on behalf of the public safety, health, and general welfare, that all persons shall have an equal opportunity for housing regardless of sex, race, color, physical condition, disability as defined in Wis. Stat. § 106.50 (1m) (g), sexual orientation as defined in Wis. Stat. § 111.32 (13m), religion, national origin, sex or marital status, family status as defined in Wis. Stat. § 106.50(1m)(k), lawful source of income, age, or ancestry as defined in the Wisconsin Statutes, and in all subsequent amendments to the definitions and provisions outlined therein.
