Any town, city or borough may, through its legislative body, create a fair housing commission to make studies and receive complaints relative to discrimination in dwellings within its jurisdiction, which term shall include mobile manufactured homes and mobile manufactured home park lots, in order to control and eliminate discrimination in such dwellings, and to enforce fair housing ordinances adopted pursuant to section 7-148 or section 7-194. The commission may be empowered to retain legal counsel to advise it.
