Includes new language in Part III allowing a broker acting as an agent in a real estate transaction to use a preprinted offer or sales contract form containing provisions on the payment of a commission or compensation, including the forfeiture of earnest money, to a broker or firm, and directs the Real Estate Commission to amend 21 NCAC 58A.0112 consistent with the provisions of the section.

Adds new GS 160D-103.1, limiting local government’s authority to adopt requirements for water and sewer infrastructure more stringent than state law unless the requirements are approved by the Environmental Management Commission and the requirements are then adopted by ordinance as provided in the statute.
