This bill mandates the removal of online images depicting the interior of residential properties after their sale, upon the request of the purchaser. The Division of Consumer Affairs is tasked with creating and publishing an image removal request form on its website within six months of the bill's enactment. This form must be provided to the purchaser by the real estate broker, broker-salesperson, or salesperson representing the seller, or directly by the seller if unrepresented, no later than the sale date. Purchasers have a 30-day window post-sale to submit the completed form to request the removal of images from multiple listing services, websites, or social media accounts.

Violations of this bill by real estate professionals or sellers not represented by a broker will incur penalties of up to $500 for first offenses and up to $1,000 for subsequent offenses. The enforcement of these penalties will be managed by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission or the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs, respectively. Additionally, the bill clarifies that violations will not be classified as unlawful practices under existing consumer protection laws. The act will take effect immediately and apply to residential property sales occurring 90 days after the publication of the image removal request form.
