As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.

 Section 1102.6i is added to the Civil Code, to read:

1102.6i.
 (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), on or after January 1, 2026, in addition to any other disclosure required pursuant to this article, the seller of any real property subject to this article, or the seller’s agent, shall deliver to the prospective buyer a disclosure statement that provides as follows: “In a purchase of real property, it may be advisable to obtain an inspection by a qualified professional of the electrical system(s) of any buildings, including, but not limited to, the main service panel, the subpanel(s), and wiring. Substandard, recalled, or faulty wiring may cause a fire risk and may make it difficult to obtain property insurance. Limited electrical capacity may make it difficult to support future electrical additions to the building(s), such as solar generation, electric space heating, electric water heating, or electric vehicle charging equipment.”
(b) This section does not apply to the sale of a building within three years of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the building.
