What changed between versions

A-Engrossed → Enrolled · 4 edits · Mar 31, 2026
MODERATE
The bill was finalized into its official 'Enrolled' version, adding a specific effective date of July 1, 2027, for new rules on real estate team names. It also clarifies that existing restrictions on team names (banning terms like 'realty' or 'real estate') are repealed and will not be reinstated in the future.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on Oregon real estate professionals, but the applicability of name restrictions has shifted from immediate to delayed implementation.
TIMELINE

Added Section 3, which delays the requirement for real estate teams to change their names until July 1, 2027.

TECHNICAL

Added Section 4, declaring an emergency to allow the bill to take effect immediately upon passage, despite the delayed name change deadline.

Changed the document header from 'A-Engrossed' (a draft version) to 'Enrolled' (the final version ready for the Governor's signature).

REQUIREMENT

Removed the provision that would have reinstated the ban on using 'realty' or 'real estate' in team names after the July 1, 2027 deadline.
