BILL NUMBER: S7091

SPONSOR: THOMAS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the general business law, in relation to certain real
estate syndication offerings

 
PURPOSE:

Relates to certain real estate syndication offerings

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Amends Subdivision 4 of Section 157 of the General Business
Law, to revise the definition of "time share."

Section 2. Amends Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of Section 352-e of the
General Business Law.

Section 3. Effective Date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

New York's Truth in Travel Act (TITA) and Martin Act restrict New York-
ers' ability to participate in co-ownership because they define any
ownership arrangement involving three or more purchasers as a "time
share." These laws inaccurately categorize common co-ownership arrange-
ments as time shares and subject them to onerous regulatory requirements
for which private co-owners could not reasonably comply.

These laws also fail to reflect the prevalence of co-ownership that
already exists and leave thousands of New Yorkers at risk of technical
violations. Today, 13% of all second homes in New York are owned in an
LLC, trust or similar vehicle, which enable multiple owner arrangements.

Modern co-ownership bears no resemblance to the vacation travel or
timeshare schemes the Truth in Travel and Martin Acts were designed to
prevent. In contrast, co-ownership involves the purchase of a whole home
by multiple buyers, just like family and friends who co-own homes
together today. Like whole homes, co-owned properties are listed on the
MLS and sold through real estate brokerages.

This update would maintain important consumer protection safeguards
while creating housing opportunities for New Yorkers who wish to enrich
their lives-or already do-through co-ownership.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2021: New Legislation

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the 90th day after it shall have become a
law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any
rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on its
effective date are authorized to be made and completed on or before such
effective date.
