Signed into law · California Assembly · Lead sponsor

Contracts: statute of frauds.

Existing law prescribes the manner in which contracts may be created. Under existing law, certain contracts are invalid unless the contract, or some note or memorandum of the contract, is in writing and subscribed by the party to be charged. Under existing law, an agreement or contract that is valid in other respects and is otherwise enforceable is not invalid for lack of a note, memorandum, or other writing and is enforceable by way of action or defense, provided that the agreement or contract is a qualified financial contract, as defined, and there is sufficient evidence to indicate that a contract has been made, including, among other alternatives, a written confirmation or the parties have agreed by some other means to be bound by the terms of the qualified financial contract from the time they reached agreement on those terms. This bill would provide that an electronic message of an ephemeral nature that is not designed to be retained or to create a permanent record, such as a text message or an instant message, is insufficient to constitute a contract to convey real property, in the absence of a written confirmation that conforms to a specified requirement of existing law. Existing law requires a licensed real estate broker to retain for 3 years copies of all listings, deposit receipts, canceled checks, trust records, and other documents executed by him or her or obtained by him or her in connection with any transactions for which a real estate broker license is required. This bill would prohibit this requirement from being construed to require retention of electronic messages of an ephemeral nature, as described in the bill.
