I worked in real estate tech for like five years... An MLS is nothing but an local organization. There are zero laws requiring a property to be posted on an MLS. I know of zero states with any regulations like what you propose. There's also confusion around the term "Realtor" because "Realtor" isn't actually a thing. It's a brand, a "real estate agent" on the other hand is an actual job. The real estate industry is *truly* and exceptionally fucked up. The confusion around MLS, "Realtor," and probably loads of other things I'm forgetting are intentional.
