          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. Real estate

          salespersons are licensed and work under a licensed broker, who  
          has retains fiduciary responsibly to the client. 


          Proposed Law:  
            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.
          Specific provisions of the bill would:
                 Establish the Task Force on Institutional Investors,  
               within the Bureau of Real Estate;
                 Require the task force, under the leadership of the Real  
               Estate Commissioner, to examine the impacts that  
               large-scale buy-to-rent investors are having on the real  
               estate market;
                 Establish the membership of the task force;
                 Require the task force to report to the Governor and the  
               Legislature by July 1, 2018 with its findings;
                 Specify the issues that the task force must consider.

          This bill is an urgency measure.
