2025-2026 California New Laws Summary

The 2025 CLTA Summary of Legislation referenced in this guide, is an annual publication produced by the California Land Title Association (www.clta.org) to give title and real estate professionals a comprehensive, industry ‑ focused breakdown of new California laws and court decisions affecting real estate, escrow, and title insurance practices. The 2025 edition provides high ‑ level summaries of newly enacted legislation, including live links to full chaptered bill text and legislative histories, along with concise digests of recently issued court opinions that impact title operations. It also includes multiple indexes—by bill number, chapter number, topic, and case name—making it an essential quick ‑ reference tool for navigating statutory and case law changes relevant to the title and real estate industry. The booklet is used to stay informed about changes taking effect on January 1, 2026, unless otherwise specified. Although detailed, the CLTA notes that the summary is not a substitute for the official statutes; rather, it serves as a practical, curated guide that directs professionals to authoritative sources and supports informed decision ‑ making within the title, escrow and real estate sector.

All new law references in this guide are available in the 2025 CLTA Summary of Legislation. https://www.clta.org/uploads/1/5/2/2/152207072/2025_summary.pdf
