BILL NUMBER: S9081

SPONSOR: PARKER
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the real property law, in relation to
designating the county of Kings a cease and desist zone and establishing
an affirmative defense to violations of nonsolicitation orders and cease
and desist zones

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The purpose of the bill is to institute a real estate cease and desist
program in Brooklyn with a 5-year active period.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 the real property law is amended by adding a new section 442-
hh

§ 2. Section 442-h of the real property law is amended by adding a new
subdivision 4

§ 3. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have
become a law and shall apply to all non-solicitation orders issued on
and after such effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In order to curb aggressive real estate solicitation practices, the
State legislature designated the entire County of Queens a "cease and
desist zone" in 1989. This law allowed homeowners in Queens to place
their names and addresses on a cease and desist list, providing them a
choice to opt out of receiving unwanted real estate solicitation at
their homes.

This legislation would designate a real estate cease and desist program
in the entire county of Kings to provide homeowners with a means to
effectively express their wish not to be solicited by real estate
brokers or agents.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT:

None known.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it becomes a law
and shall apply to all nonsolicitation orders issued on and after such
effective date.
