The new law is intended to help families in Georgia and across the country compete for homeownership.

Sen. Raphael Warnock’s proposal to stop large private equity firms from buying additional single-family homes is now federal law after a housing bill became law without President Donald Trump’s signature.

Warnock announced Saturday that the measure is part of the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which became law after Trump neither signed nor vetoed the legislation within the constitutionally required 10-day window, CBS News Atlanta reported.
