House Bill No. by Representative Hebert amends R.S. 40:1581(F) to clarify the liability of real estate professionals regarding compliance with smoke and carbon monoxide detector regulations in one- or two-family dwellings. The bill specifies that both the real estate agent and the licensed real estate appraiser shall not be held liable for the seller's failure to adhere to these safety provisions.

The proposed changes include the insertion of language that explicitly includes licensed real estate appraisers alongside real estate agents in terms of liability protection. This amendment aims to provide additional legal clarity and protection for appraisers in their professional duties, ensuring they are not held responsible for the seller's non-compliance with the relevant safety regulations.
