Summary

The bill lets the Department of Real Estate and Consumer Affairs boards suspend exam, fee, renewal and continuing‑education rules for licensees whose homes or businesses are in a declared natural‑disaster zone, after a short review by the department director. It also creates new rules for contractors doing debris removal, requires email contact info for all applicants, and gives the real‑estate commissioner power to warn the public about fraud and to punish licensees who exploit disaster‑hit property owners. The measures are intended to keep essential services running and protect consumers during emergencies.
