2025 SENATE BILL 536. This bill exempts from the sales and use tax memberships sold to licensed real estate brokers who, pursuant to the membership agreement, offer to compensate or cooperate with other real estate brokers in brokering sales of properties.

Under current law, a sales and use tax exemption exists for memberships sold to licensed real estate brokers who, pursuant to the membership agreement, offer 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.

Introduced by Senator Bradley, cosponsored by Representative Steffen. Referred to Committee on Insurance, Housing, Rural Issues and Forestry.
