This bill updates Michigan's real estate licensing laws by adding new definitions for terms like "associate broker," "independent contractor relationship," and "limited service agreement." It specifically clarifies that a worker is considered an independent contractor only if there is a written agreement treating them as such for tax purposes and at least 75% of their pay comes from real estate commissions. The legislation also establishes precise rules for counting classroom hours for licensing education, distinguishing between in-person and distance learning formats. These changes directly affect real estate brokers, salespeople, and clients by standardizing how agency relationships and professional training are defined and recorded.
