Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Home service protections expand, with government exceptions

Utility service contracts no longer have an automatic exemption from restrictions on unfair residential real estate service agreements. The law exempts contracts, restrictive declarations, regulatory agreements, and other documents required by a government entity or involving it as a party. Security agreements under the Uniform Commercial Code for selling or renting personal property or fixtures remain exempt. These changes take effect on the same date and in the same manner as the referenced 2025 law. The source does not give a calendar date.
