TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the real property law, in relation to the fee paid for

amend a chapter of the laws of 2021 amending the real property law
relating to adding a surcharge to the fee paid for issuing or reissuing
a real estate broker or salesmen license, as proposed in legislative
bills numbers S.  2133-A and A. 5363, in relation to the effectiveness
thereof

 
PURPOSE:

This is a chapter amendment to L.2021, c.698, to clarify provisions
concerning the disposition of surcharges collected by the department of
state on licenses for real estate professionals.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This legislation amends two provisions of L.2021, c.698.

Section 1 amends the real property law to clarify that once the depart-
ment of state collects the surcharge on a real estate broker or sales-
person license, it deposits that surcharge into the anti-discrimination
in housing fund established pursuant to section eighty-a of the state
finance law.

Section 2 amends the effective date of the underlying chapter from imme-
diately upon enactment to thirty days after enactment.

 
EXISTING LAW:

None.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Chapter amendment to Chapter 698 of the Laws of 2021. S.2133-A passed
the Senate in February 2021, and A.5363 passed the Assembly in June
2021.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that section
one of this act shall take effect on the same date and in the same
manner as a chapter of the laws of 2021 amending the real property law
relating to adding a surcharge to the fee paid for issuing or reissuing
a real estate broker or salesman license, as proposed in legislative
bills numbers S.2133-A and A.5363, takes effect.
