What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a sales and use tax exemption for the sale of a membership to

a licensed real estate broker who, pursuant to the membership agreement, offers to

compensate and cooperate with other real estate brokers in brokering sales of

properties.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be

referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed

as an appendix to the bill.
