Cal. Civ. Code § 22-9.5-4-5
Annual report; studies
Operative Text
Sec. 5. (a) The commission shall, at least annually, publish a written report recommending legislative or other action to carry out the purposes of this article. (b) The commission shall make studies relating to the nature and extent of discriminatory housing practices in Indiana.
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.

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.
