 Introduced by Sen. FERNANDEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to access to fair and
 transparent real estate listings

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "Fair and Transparent Real Estate Listings Act".
 3 § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that open
 4 and transparent access to residential real estate listings is essential
 5 to fair housing opportunity, market competition, and accurate price
 6 discovery. The legislature further finds that practices that keep for-
 7 sale homes off broadly accessible public platforms, including use of
 8 private listing networks or similar restricted-access systems, can limit
 9 the ability of buyers and their agents to identify and compete for
 10 available homes, reduce the pool of potential offers to sellers and
 11 landlords and risk lower sale proceeds, and exacerbate segregation and
 12 inequities by making some homes effectively invisible to certain buyers.
 13 It is therefore the intent of the legislature to require timely public
 14 advertising or marketing of listed residential properties on platforms
 15 accessible to the general public and to real estate licensees represent-
 16 ing prospective buyers, and permit non-public marketing only where the
 17 seller gives informed, written direction after receiving a standardized
 18 state disclosure that clearly explains the risks and tradeoffs of with-
 19 holding a listing from public marketing.
 20 § 3. The real property law is amended by adding a new section 443-b to
 21 read as follows:
 22 § 443-b. Marketing. 1. For purposes of this section:
 23 (a) The terms "buyer", "listing agent", "listing agreement", "residen-
 24 tial real property", "seller", "landlord" and "tenant" shall have the
 25 same meanings as such terms are defined in section four hundred forty-
 26 three of this article.
 27 (b) "Department" means the New York department of state.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
