REAL ESTATE: Provides relative to real estate
HB 139 requires real estate agents to obtain a written agreement from a client before submitting an offer to purchase property on their behalf. This procedural amendment directly affects real estate agents and their clients by clarifying a specific step in the transaction process. The bill makes a minor technical change to existing rules, replacing a line in the statute to explicitly state the agreement requirement. It does not create new policy or impact broader housing markets. The bill is currently under review by the Committee on Commerce.
