Commission trims its 2026 forms "global list," asks staff to pursue title-resolution form and corrections
Loading...
Summary
The commission reviewed suggestions for new and revised real-estate forms, removed several proposed new forms (contract to purchase water, cigarette smoke disclosure, buyer-change form), deferred the HOA disclosure until April, and voted to move forward on a title-resolution form and a set of targeted corrections and date updates.
The commission spent the morning reviewing its "global list" of suggested form changes for 2026, discussing which items should be pursued, deferred or removed from the review rotation.
Division staff described the intake process and explained that suggestions range widely in quality and scope. Commissioners focused on items that are within the three-year review rotation and asked staff to ignore minor or outside-the-rotation suggestions.
Among the outcomes: commissioners agreed not to pursue a comprehensive agricultural-land listing contract, the proposed separate contract-to-purchase-water form, a proposed buyer-change form, and a proposed cigarette-smoke disclosure as stand-alone forms. Commissioners asked staff to track down the HOA disclosure form that had been provided with a link and to return it for consideration at the April meeting. The commission voted to move forward on a title-resolution form (with guidance to the division to add guardrails to avoid unauthorized-practice-of-law concerns), updates to lead-based paint language, promissory-note corrections, and various numbering and paragraph-reference updates.
Chair Renee Line summarized the decision and asked staff to produce a consolidated list for a formal vote; the motion to approve Marsha's compiled list was made and carried.
Why it matters: form changes affect standard transactions and disclosure obligations across the broker population; the division will now prepare the specific drafts and legal guardrails for items the commission asked staff to pursue, and bring the HOA disclosure back in April for review.
Provenance: commissioners discussed the forms global list throughout the policy-matters block of the agenda and voted to approve a consolidated staff list (see meeting transcript entries on the forms discussion and the motion to approve Marsha's list).
