Section 47 enables the Welsh Ministers, by way of regulations subject to the affirmative procedure, to extend the protections from discrimination given to renters with children or in receipt of benefits in this chapter to additional cohorts.
	Subsection (1) provides that before making regulations, the Welsh Ministers must be satisfied that a discriminatory rental practice exists against that cohort and, because of that practice, they are significantly less likely to obtain the grant, renewal or continuance of an occupation contract than other people.
	Subsection (2) defines a discriminatory rental practice in same way as sections 8A, subsection (1) and 8B, subsection (1) of the Renting Homes (Fees etc) (Wales) Act 2019 as amended in both languages by sections 43 and 44. Subsection (3) defines what being a "victim" of a discriminatory rental practice means.
	Subsections (4) and (5) limit the power to creating new provision which directly corresponds to that for renters with children or receiving benefits. Subsection (6) provides that making regulations is contingent upon prior consultation with such relevant sector stakeholders as the Welsh Ministers consider appropriate.
	Under subsection (8), this power may amend existing rental discrimination legislation in order that, for example, regulations may make insertions into the Renting Homes (Fees, Discrimination etc.) (Wales) Act 2019 alongside other relevant provision.
