Relating to certain contracts for the purchase of residential real property located in a colonia.

SB 22 requires that residential real estate contracts in a "colonia" (a defined border-area community with 11+ dwellings in close proximity) must provide a Spanish translation upon buyer request, with translations done by a certified Spanish translator. The final binding contract, however, must still be written in English. This law applies only to new contracts entered into on or after the effective date (91 days after the legislative session ends), not to existing contracts. It directly affects buyers and sellers in colonias during residential property transactions.
