 Introduced  by M. of A. SOLAGES -- read once and referred to the Commit-
   tee on Judiciary
 
 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:
 
   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "Fair and Transparent Real Estate Listings Act."
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that  open
 and  transparent access to residential real estate listings is essential
 to fair housing opportunity,  market  competition,  and  accurate  price
 discovery.  The  legislature further finds that practices that keep for-
 sale homes off broadly accessible public  platforms,  including  use  of
 private listing networks or similar restricted-access systems, can limit
 the  ability  of  buyers  and  their  agents to identify and compete for
 available homes, reduce the pool of potential offers to sellers and risk
 lower sale proceeds, and exacerbate segregation and inequities by making
 some homes effectively invisible to certain buyers.
   It is therefore the intent of the legislature to require timely public
 advertising or marketing of listed residential properties  on  platforms
 accessible to the general public and to real estate licensees represent-
 ing  prospective  buyers, and permit non-public marketing only where the
 seller gives informed, written direction after receiving a  standardized
 state  disclosure that clearly explains the risks and tradeoffs of with-
 holding a listing from public marketing.
   § 3. Subdivision 3 of section 443 of the real property law is  amended
 by adding a new paragraph g to read as follows:
   G. (I) FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH:
   (A) "RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY" HAS THE SAME MEANING AS IN SUBDIVISION
 ONE  OF  THIS SECTION AND INCLUDES ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY DWELLINGS, CONDO-
 MINIUM UNITS, AND  COOPERATIVE  APARTMENTS,  WHETHER  OWNER-OCCUPIED  OR
 NON-OWNER-OCCUPIED;
   (B) "PUBLICLY ADVERTISE OR MARKET" MEANS TO ADVERTISE, LIST, OR OTHER-
 WISE  MAKE  INFORMATION  ABOUT A PROPERTY AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON AT LEAST
 ONE PUBLICATION, PLATFORM, OR WEBSITE THAT IS BROADLY ACCESSIBLE TO  THE
 GENERAL  PUBLIC  AND  TO  ANY  DULY  LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER OR REAL
