Plain English

La. R.S. § 51:2601 establishes the official short title of Louisiana's fair housing statute, designating it the 'Louisiana Equal Housing Opportunity Act.' This provision does not impose requirements or prohibitions on its own; it simply gives the broader chapter a formal name by which it can be referenced in legal documents, court filings, and public discourse. The substantive rights and obligations in the housing context are found in the sections that follow within this same chapter.
