Modifies provisions relating to separate bank escrow accounts maintained by brokers
Placed on Informal Calendar
Summary
The bill requires brokers to hold any escrow or trust funds in a dedicated bank account, prohibiting mixing with personal money except a small allowance for service fees. Brokers must notify the state real‑estate commission of their account details, keep records for inspection, and cannot receive their commission until a sale is completed unless all parties agree. If escrow funds become disputed, the broker must turn them over to the state treasurer within a year.
