It clarifies that a firm, rather than a broker, that is providing brokerage services to one or both parties must describe and disclose in writing the broker's duties and responsibilities prior to the party or parties signing a contract to sell, purchase, lease, option or exchange real estate. It also modifies duties and responsibilities of a broker, stating that certain responsibilities are in place unless specifically waived in writing by a party to the transaction, and it requires the broker to keep the party for whom the broker is providing services informed regarding the transaction. It makes certain information confidential and not subject to disclosure, including that a party or prospective party is willing to pay more or accept less than what is being offered; that a party or prospective party is willing to agree to financing terms different from those offered; and the motivating factors of the party or prospective party purchasing, selling, leasing, optioning or exchanging the property. The bill removes certain language regarding the duties of transaction brokers. It requires all brokerage agreements to incorporate as material terms the duties and responsibilities of the Oklahoma Real Estate License Code. It allows a broker to provide brokerage services to one or both parties in a transaction, if both parties are provided written notice. It allows a broker to cooperate with other brokers in a transaction, but a broker cannot be an agent, subagent or dual agent and an offer of subagency cannot be made to other brokers. The measure states that broker associates, sales associates and provisional sales associates cannot enter into a brokerage agreement with a party in the associate's name and is only allowed to enter into the agreement in the name of the broker. The bill repeals current language regarding written brokerage agreements, single-party brokers and alternative relationships when the broker assists one or both parties and confidential information.

HB2534

Paraphrase: HB2534, by Rep. Aaron Stiles, R-Norman and Sen. Brian Crain, R-Tulsa, modifies language related to summons issued for forcible entry and detainer, directing that it command the sheriff or other person serving it to summon the defendant to file a written answer to the petition with the court within three days after service. It states that if an answer is filed, a trial date and time shall be set by the court clerk, and the date shall not be less than three days nor more than seven days from the date the answer was filed. It states that if the answer is not filed within three days, the plaintiff is entitled to a judgment for the relief and amount sought in the petition, and the court is to immediately issue a writ of restitution for possession of the premises. The measure removes language service of summons at least three days before a trial. It states that in all cases in which a cause of action is based on an asserted breach of a lease by the defendant or the termination or expiration of a lease under which the defendant claims an interest in the property in a verified answer, the plaintiff may proceed with the forcible entry and detainer action instead of an ejectment action. The bill states that if a case is assigned to the small claims docket, the court must prescribe the judgment, fees and awards under the forcible entry and detainer procedures. It states that if a tenant remains in possession of the premises after proper notice of termination has been posted or delivered, the landlord shall recover, in addition to amounts due under the rental agreement, statutory damages equal to twice the daily rent amount. The measure states that for a tenant to qualify for claims arising out of noncompliance by a landlord, the tenant must be in full compliance with all obligations to the landlord under the terms and conditions of the rental agreement, including but not limited to being current on financial obligations, abiding by restrictions within the rental agreement and not being subject to any notification to vacate. It states that a landlord is not responsible to store or maintain items that are dangerous, require maintenance or may spoil if the tenant abandons or surrenders possession of the dwelling unit or has lawfully been removed from the premises through eviction proceedings, and the landlord is not liable for the disposition of any item left in the premises. The bill states that written notice of the demand for payment from the landlord may be delivered to the tenant personally or by leaving a copy of the demand with a person over the age of 15 at the place of business or residence of the tenant or affixing a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the residence. It states that termination of the rental agreement for nonpayment of rent does not release tenants from obligation to pay future rent under the agreement subject to obligation to mitigate of the landlord. The bill repeals current statute providing affidavit and summons forms. (Amended by House, Committee Substitute) - © 2012 eCapitol, LLC. All rights reserved.

It states that such method for valuation shall be used at the sole discretion of the county commissioners in the drainage district. The bill authorizes county commissioners in which a drainage district is organized and continues prior to Jan. 2, 2008, to reevaluate and subsequently modify the physical boundary of the district upon making a fact-based finding that the newly proposed boundary is rationally related to those geographical areas that receive a direct benefit of protection from flood and flood waters via the infrastructure in the district, as long as those boundaries do not exceed the physical boundaries of the county in which the district is located.

Ron Justice, R-Chickasha, creates the Oklahoma Resource Reclamation Act, stating that it is the duty of every private absentee landowner in each county to manage and control infestation in a manner sufficient to prevent and reduce the threat of wildfires and comply with the Oklahoma Forestry Code. It states that it is the duty of every such landowner to remove the Eastern Red Cedar trees on the property if it is determined the property is infested. The bill states that a landowner failing to take such action will be notified of the intent to remove the abandoned property and have 30 days to submit a response or to file a forest management plan detailing actions to be taken and intent to comply with fire safety recommendations. It directs cities, counties or state officials to approve or disapprove forest management plans. The bill states that if the absentee landowner fails to respond to a complaint or file a forest management plan, city, county or state officials, based on information regarding infestation published by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, shall determine the most appropriate method for removal, with costs being the responsibility of the landowner. It also states that beginning Jan. 1, 2013, an owner of qualifying eastern red cedar property that applies to and is approved by the Tax Commission who then files proof of commission approval and an election with the county assessor in the county where the property is located to be subject to the in lieu tax payment requirements is subject to an lieu tax at the rate of $1 per acre of qualifying Eastern Red Cedar property. It directs the revenue derived from the in lieu tax to be apportioned by the county treasurer. It creates penalties for failure to pay the in lieu tax. The bill also modifies language related to the preference the Department of Central Services' Purchasing Division is to give to wood products made from the Eastern Red Cedar, directing the division to register any manufacturer of products made from trees harvested in Oklahoma that is registered with the Eastern Red Cedar Registry Board on the central purchasing vendor registration system for state agency purchasing (Amended by House, Stricken Title, Committee Substitute) - © 2012 eCapitol, LLC.

HB2836

Paraphrase: HB2836, by Rep. Scott Martin, R-Norman and Sen. Kimberley David, R-Wagoner, prohibits municipal or county governing bodies from taking or requiring rights-of-way or easements or restricting the occupancy or development of private land beyond the federally established 100-year floodplain for any public purpose with the exception of public roadways and public utility service line improvements without advance payment to the landowner of record of just compensation for the fair market value of the land taken or damaged. It also modifies language regarding floodplain management rules. It removes language prohibiting a floodplain management regulation or amendment from being in force unless published in a newspaper 15 days after adoption. It also removes language requiring written notice of the regulation or amendment to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board 30 days prior to the date of adoption. It requires that the governing body or floodplain board give at least 20 days' notice of a public hearing for any change in floodplain management regulations. It requires the jurisdiction to publish the approved regulations in a newspaper of general circulation within 30 days of adoption. And, it requires the jurisdiction to send approved regulations to the OWRB within 30 days of adoption. The bill also clarifies that municipal or county governments or floodplain boards cannot restrict the occupancy or development of private land for public trails, greenways, open space, conservation easements, parks, recreational purposes or similar uses not primarily and directly related to the flood hazard management or for the purpose of floodplain management, flood hazard reduction or stormwater quality management outside of areas of special flood hazard as defined on flood insurance rate maps. It states that such development cannot be made without advance payment to the landowner of record of just compensation based on the total fair market value of the land damaged by the action, subject to certain exceptions. The measure states that areas of special flood hazard will be construed to include locally adopted regulatory floodplains that are delineated pursuant to commonly accepted civil engineering standards to more accurately depict the true 100-year storm flood risk to a community or county. It prohibits development restriction enacted pursuant to one or more of the exceptions to be valid unless a mechanism has been provided for affected property owners to request a variance from enforcement of the regulation.
