AI Summary
This bill designates Kings County as a "cease and desist zone," meaning it will be added to a list maintained by the Secretary of State that restricts certain types of real estate solicitations. Additionally, the bill establishes an affirmative defense for property owners accused of violating nonsolicitation orders or cease and desist zones, provided they can demonstrate that their residential property was advertised for sale through means such as advertisements or real estate listings. This provision aims to protect homeowners who are actively marketing their properties from potential penalties related to solicitation rules.
