GOVERNMENT/LEGAL ISSUES:
Internet Tax Bill Clears Hurdle
The Senate this week passed NAR-supported legislation to
even the tax-collection playing field between bricks-and-mortar retail
businesses and out-of-state Internet and catalogue retailers. The Marketplace
Fairness Act would make it easier for states to compel out-of-state retailers
to collect sales tax on items sold to customers in their states. The
legislation still must pass the House. View a 4-minute video on what’s at stake in
the legislation.
Webinar on Flood Insurance Rate Changes
NAR and the National Association of Home Builders are
hosting a webinar on the new premium rate structures and other changes from the
major flood insurance reforms enacted by the federal government last year. A
representative from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with present
and answer questions. The webinar is May 23, 12:00-2:00 p.m. Registration Link.
May Podcast: Fiduciary Duty Risk Reduction
Attorney Scott Kossove talks about reducing
the risks for breach of fiduciary duty claims in an audio podcast. Kossove will
address the topic in more depth next week at the Risk Management Forum,
Wednesday, May 15, during the Midyear Meetings in Washington.
Brokerage Liable for Associate’s Action
A brokerage was properly found to be liable for fraud
committed by one of its sales associates, even though the associate was an
independent contractor, the Court of Appeals of Ohio, Second District, ruled, partially affirming
the trial court. The appeals court said the broker has a duty to supervise its
licensees and also noted that the brokerage was named in the sales contract
that the licensee signed with the buyer who filed the charges. The court
partially reversed the trial court's assessment of damages, saying the value of
one of the units involved wasn't established.
