Housing

This bill increases the required supervised experience period for new real estate brokers from two to five years. It directly affects individuals applying for a real estate broker's license, mandating they have actively worked as a licensed salesperson under a broker for five consecutive years (or equivalent experience). Key provisions include requiring cultural competency training, proof of English language proficiency, knowledge of fair housing laws, and completion of a 152-hour approved course. The bill also specifies that certain course components must be taught in person, not online.
