Last week I had the chance to be part of a panel discussion about using technology to identify discriminatory restrictive covenants in property records. The session was hosted by the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA). If you are a PRIA member, the session can be seen by logging in //pria.us/members and searching “The Webinar Presentation” library. If you are not a member, and involved in the property records space, I encourage you to consider joining PRIA.
While the provisions in these covenants haven’t been enforceable in decades, how to handle this part of our history is a divisive topic. While some states and counties feel it is important to identify and take action, others are not interested in re-writing history. Our stance at Extract has never been to tell organizations what they should and shouldn’t redact, but rather them what is possible with technology. Whether it be discriminatory restrictive covenants in land records, marijuana-related charges in court records, or HIV status or drug use in medical records, Extract can automate the redaction process.
