Summary

Existing law regulates the activities of auctioneers and auction companies and, on and after July 1, 2015, with respect to an auction that includes the sale of real property, prohibits a person from causing or allowing any person to bid at a sale for the sole purpose of increasing the bid on any real property being sold by the auctioneer, including stating an increased bid greater than that offered by the last highest bidder was made when no person actually made an increased bid. Existing law excepts from the application of these provisions a credit bid made by a creditor with a security interest in the property that is the subject of auction when the credit bid can result in the transfer of title to property to the creditor. Existing law provides that anyone who violates this provision is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would eliminate that prohibition, and would, instead, prohibit an auctioneer from stating an increased bid greater than that offered by the last highest bidder was made when no person actually made an increased bid, as provided. The bill would eliminate the exception for credit bids. By expanding the crime of violating this provision to creditors making credit bids, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
