NYSAR Continues to Call on Governor Cuomo to End Cold Call Ban

Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently issued another State of Emergency in New York State due to gun violence. As a result of being under a State of Emergency, licensees are again prohibited from making any cold calls. NYSAR sees no connection between acting to curb gun violence and the legitimate business practice of cold calling. NYSAR has launched a Call for Action asking the governor and state Legislature to lift the ban on cold calling now and decouple the statutory restrictions on cold calling as it relates to States of Emergency. Take Action now!
 
New CDC Eviction Moratorium Extended to Oct. 3
On August 3, President Joe Biden’s administration announced that the CDC is issuing a new, targeted federal eviction ban replacing the one that expired July 31. The new ban will apply to “counties experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels” of COVID-19 and will last until Oct. 3. NAR is supporting an emergency motion asking a federal judge to enforce the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent order stating that the CDC lacked authority to extend an eviction moratorium without Congressional authorization.
