Portland City Council voted Wednesday night to adopt Councilor Angelita Morillo's proposed AI rental price-fixing ban, with eight councilors in support. In addition to co-sponsors Green, and Koyama Lane, the ordinance was approved by Councilors Dunphy, Avalos, Kanal, Loretta Smith, and Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney. Clark and Ryan voted no, and Councilors Steve Novick and Eric Zimmerman were absent. After months of uncertainty, a policy to ban the sale or use of algorithmic rental price-fixing software in Portland is back on the table.
