What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that an owner of real estate may, with certain exceptions, use

a surveillance device in or on the real estate, other than in a bathroom or washroom,

to observe or record an individual who is present for a private showing, open house,

or other viewing of the real estate in connection with the owner's attempt to sell the

real estate. The bill specifies that such use of a surveillance device is not an invasion

of the individual's privacy under current state law recognizing the right of privacy.
