Requires real estate brokers and salespersons to complete a certain amount of sexual harassment prevention training
This bill requires New York real estate brokers and salespersons to complete two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years as part of their license renewal process. Specifically, licensees must complete one hour during each of the two consecutive 12-month periods before renewal, with training content meeting standards set in New York Labor Law. The requirement applies to all licensed professionals renewing their licenses and is separate from existing continuing education mandates. It directly affects licensed real estate professionals in New York who must affirm compliance when renewing their licenses. The training must be completed in two separate sessions within the two-year renewal cycle.
