Governor Kay Ivey has officially signed HB 230 into law! Now known as Alabama Act 2025-59, this law goes into effect on April 18, 2025.
This significant legislation clarifies the timing of written buyer agreements, strengthens Alabama’s RECAD framework, and protects consumers from premature binding contracts. Under HB 230, potential buyers cannot be forced to sign a binding agreement just to view a property. Instead, a written agreement is required before submitting an offer, ensuring greater transparency and consistency in real estate transactions statewide.
