The client must receive the disclosure at the time of referral. The disclosure must follow the federal Real Esta… - Home warranty contract protections stay in place: benefit, low. The law removes requirements for covered home warranty service contracts from the September 1, 2026 repeal schedule. Providers and contract holders remain subject to those requirements. The provision sets no new end date for these contract rules. - Employed brokers can use former legal names: benefit, low. An individual can choose a previously used legal name for a real estate broker license registration. This option applies when the license is registered as being in the employ of another broker. - Qualifying condo managers avoid broker licensing: benefit, low. A qualifying condominium homeowners association counts as an owner under the on-site manager exemption from broker licensing. The association must be formed and act under its recorded condominium declaration and bylaws. The manager must be a regularly salaried employee working on-site. The exemptio… - Colorado keeps real estate oversight through 2037: benefit, low. The law continues Colorado’s Division of Real Estate and Real Estate Commission until September 1, 2037. Their scheduled repeal date was September 1, 2026. They continue overseeing brokers, subdivision developers, and related real estate activities. The law takes effect August 12, 2026, unless a ti… - Real estate notices gain email options: benefit, low.

Service can then go to the entity’s principal address by email, registered mail, or certified mail. It counts at the earliest of receipt, a qualifying signed r… - Real estate professionals face stronger discipline: cost, medium. The Commission can deny a license to applicants guilty of offenses listed in the licensing law. After revocation, a new license application cannot be considered for two years, up from one year. Licensees and registrants can face administrative fines of up to $2,500 per offense for covered violation… - Education lapses risk inactive broker licenses: cost, medium. The Commission can make a broker’s license inactive for failing to meet continuing education requirements. An inactive license can prevent the holder from practicing under that license. The Division can also charge providers a fee when they submit continuing education courses. The law does not set… - Ignoring real estate subpoenas brings daily offenses: cost, low. Willfully ignoring a duly served subpoena in covered broker or subdivision proceedings is a petty offense. This covers failing to appear and testify or provide required materials. Each day of refusal or neglect is a separate offense. The provision does not specify a fine amount. - Client privacy rules allow supervisory sharing: mixed, low. Agents must get express written consent before making covered disclosures of a client’s confidential information. A transaction-broker must get that consent from all parties. But brokers can share confidential information with their employing broker or that broker’s designee for proper supervision… - Money-handling discipline limited to licensed work: mixed, low. The law narrows specified grounds for disciplining brokers over another person’s money. Those grounds cover failures to account for, remit, or safeguard funds only while performing work that requires a real estate license. They still apply to money-handling misconduct during that licensed work. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Andrew Boesenecker (Democratic), House - Sponsor: Chris Kolker (Democratic), Senate - Sponsor: Iman Jodeh (Democratic), Senate -
