Title 104 | Chapter 001 | Regulation 010E
This emergency administrative regulation is being promulgated in order to meet an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare. 104 KAR 1:010, Section 4, requires that persons or entities engaged in real estate or real estate-related transactions to provide to owners and customers at the time of sale, purchase, rental, insuring, or financing of real property, a copy of the Fair Housing Brochure. The Fair Housing Brochure is a document published by the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights.
On July 18, 2025, the Commission received a letter from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO), requesting that the Commission cease and desist from using any logos, marks, or names that are identical or similar to the official HUD seal, and to remove any references to HUD in its publications. This letter was sent to all organizations utilizing materials funded, at least in part, by HUD’s National Media Campaign award. To comply with the request, the Commission has amended the Fair Housing Brochure to remove the aforementioned logos, seals, marks, and/or references.
This administrative regulation is being filed on an emergency basis in order to ensure that any and all regulated persons and entities have a clear understanding of the obligation imposed upon them by 104 KAR 1:010, Section 4. This emergency administrative regulation will be replaced by an ordinary administrative regulation because the requirement to provide the Fair Housing Brochure continues despite the HUD FHEO request. The companion ordinary administrative regulation is identical to this emergency administrative regulation and is filed simultaneously.
