MINOR

This bill was amended to change the geographic area covered by a new 'cease and desist' rule for real estate agents. Instead of applying to the entire Kings County, the rule now specifically targets the 56th Assembly District, which includes Community Boards 3 and 8. This change narrows the scope of the law to a specific neighborhood rather than an entire county.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed from the entire county of Kings to a specific geographic area: the 56th Assembly District encompassing Community Boards 3 and 8.

SCOPE

The designated area for the cease and desist zone was changed from the 'county of Kings' to the 'fifty-sixth assembly district encompassing community board three and community board eight'.
