Revised exemptions for real estate brokers to clarify that certain federal tax-exempt organization managers who began managing properties before January 1, 1989, remain exempt from licensing requirements.
Modified the in-state staff requirement for out-of-state landlords to clarify that the broker may or may not reside in-state, but must employ at least one in-state person for tenant communications if the broker does not reside in-state.
