Idaho

	Limits choice of brokerage services
	Allows brokers to offer rebates to consumers

In 2007, Idaho enacted a minimum service law, supported by the Idaho Association of Realtors. Idaho Statute § 54-2087(3) requires brokers hired by consumers “to be available to the client to receive and timely present all written offers.”

The new law prohibits consumers from waiving the required service, even if the consumer and the broker agree that the consumer does not want to purchase the service and the broker does not want to provide the service.
