Florida Association of Realtors Bulletin today says Attorney General Pam Bondi will not require MARS compliance with Florida real estate agents.

Here is a quote from the article:

"....Florida Realtors immediately contacted Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office and asked what efforts are being undertaken. Bondi’s office verbally said there are no current efforts to enforce the MARS regulations against real estate licensees – a very positive development for Florida Realtors.
 
While Bondi retains the power to enforce MARS within Florida, Margy Grant, Florida Realtors vice president of law and policy, says that the recent FTC decision would still require the Attorney General to approach the FTC before filing a complaint. “And if that happened, the FTC would discourage any action against real estate brokers,” says Grant."

The only thing I felt was fuzzy in the quote above was "no current efforts to enforce".  I'd like to hear an affirmative edict from FAR Legal, stating it's unequivocally "ok" to remove the disclosures!

Meanwhile, I am not going to worry about fitting my marketing messages on postcards anymore!
