The Commission is complying with Session Law 2025-52 (Senate Bill 690) by initiating permanent rulemaking to amend 21 NCAC 58A .0112: Offers and Sales Contracts. During this rulemaking process, the Commission will not enforce the provisions of the current rule that are subject to change. A broker acting as an agent in a real estate transaction may use a preprinted offer or sales contract form containing provisions concerning the payment of a commission or compensation, including the forfeiture of earnest money, to a broker or firm.
This action is taken in accordance with legislative direction and is designed to provide clarity during the rule revision period.
