Modifies provisions relating to separate bank escrow accounts maintained by brokers

HB 2473 requires real estate brokers in Missouri to keep client funds in separate bank escrow accounts, directly affecting brokers who handle client money. The bill mandates that brokers cannot mix client funds with personal money, except for up to $1,000 to cover account fees or interest accrued on the funds (which must be removed within 30 days). Brokers must also notify the state commission about their escrow accounts, maintain detailed records for inspection, and report disputed funds to the state treasurer within 365 days if ownership is contested. This replaces existing rules with clearer requirements for account separation and transparency.
