Summary

The bill forces real‑estate brokers, salespersons and their agents to label any digitally altered property photo in a sale or rental advertisement and to give viewers a link, URL or QR code to the unaltered image. It applies to online listings as well, obligating the unaltered photo to be posted or linked. Violations are treated as crimes under the Real Estate Law, and the state will not reimburse local agencies for any costs.
