Latest Text Digest

Existing law regulates sale transactions of real property. On January 7, 2025, the Governor proclaimed a state of emergency to exist in the Counties of Los Angeles and Ventura due to fire and windstorm conditions that caused multiple fires. Executive Order No. N-7-25, signed by the Governor on January 14, 2025, prohibited a buyer from making an unsolicited offer to an owner of real property located in specified ZIP Codes in the County of Los Angeles to purchase the real property for an amount less than what the fair market value of the property was on January 6, 2025. Executive Order No. N-17-25 expanded that prohibition to include real properties in additional specified ZIP Codes. Subsequent executive orders extended the prohibition until July 1, 2025. Existing law makes a violation of the executive order a misdemeanor, as specified.

Existing law, the Real Estate Law, provides for the licensure and regulation of real estate brokers and salespersons by the Real Estate Commissioner, the chief officer of the Department of Real Estate within the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency. Existing law makes a willful violation of the Real Estate Law a crime.

This bill would make these provisions severable, would make these provisions operative 30 days after the effective date of the bill, and would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2027.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Counties of Los Angeles and Ventura.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
