What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with certain exceptions, owners selling residential real

property or vacant land must give prospective buyers a form, known as a real estate

condition report for residential real property and as the vacant land disclosure report

for vacant land, on which the owner discloses certain conditions of, and other

information about, the real property of which the owner is aware. This bill requires

an owner to disclose on the applicable report whether the owner has notice or

knowledge of a contract, or an option to contract, that allows a person to mine frac

sand on a neighboring property.
