Bill Summary: AB 2282 would establish a taskforce within the Bureau of Real Estate to study and report on the impact of large-scale buy-to-rent investors on the real estate market. Fiscal Impact: One-time costs, likely from $150,000 to $300,000 per year for two years to provide staff support for the taskforce, collect required data, and draft the required report by the Bureau of Real Estate (General Fund). The Bureau of Real Estate is fully funded by fees assessed on licensed real estate brokers and salespersons. Because the subject matter to be considered by the proposed task force does not directly relate to the licensing or regulation brokers or salespersons, it would be an inappropriate use of license fees in the Real Estate Fund to support the activities of the taskforce. Background: Under current law, the Bureau of Real Estate licenses real estate brokers and salespersons in the state.
