California Reopening June 15 – 
What to Expect

As more and more Californians get vaccinated, the state is reopening and moving beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. The purple, red, orange and yellow tiers that helped us manage COVID-19 in our counties are on track to end on June 15.

While very limited measures will remain, Californians will see life getting back to normal. Here’s a link to more information the state released last week to help us know what to expect on June 15 when California retires the four-color county tier system. In the meantime, we will continue to follow the Guidance for Office Workspaces as well as the updated Gatherings Guidance for in-person meetings.

C.A.R. Legal: California’s Reopening
What You Need to Know before June 15th – Live Webinar

Attend Ethics Day “Revisited” and Fulfill Your Ethics Requirement FREE! – Dec. 18

Did you know that half of CCAR REALTOR® members still need to check off their ethics training? Don’t fall behind! Every REALTOR® must complete 2.5 hours of ethics training every three years, and the current cycle ends this December. Skip it, and you risk suspension and eventual termination of your CCAR, C.A.R., and NAR memberships.

Still need to complete it? This is your last chance to tune into the National Real Estate Ethics Day® “Revisited” Stream with Leigh Brown on Wed., Dec. 18, from 10:00am – 1:00pm and fulfill your requirement for FREE! It’s fast, engaging, and there’s no test – just a great way to stay compliant!

State Legislation Update

by

Lawsuit and justice concept, Lawyer working with partner at law firm. legal consulting discussion defendant punishment law in courtroom

C.A.R. continues to advocate for legislation in Sacramento

Opposing legislation that will create new costs and burdens for real estate and supporting legislation that will increase housing supply. With the help of members who have shared their opinions with legislators, this year, C.A.R. has been successful in preventing three bills from moving forward that could have had long lasting harmful effects in our community. While these bills may still come back next year, our success in stopping them from moving forward this year bodes well for us.
