MINOR
This bill amends Virginia's Real Estate Board membership requirements by clarifying that the five-year experience requirement must be consecutive. The change removes ambiguity about whether the five years need to be continuous or can be non-consecutive, ensuring board members maintain consistent professional engagement in real estate.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on Real Estate Board membership qualifications, with no change to the number of members or their roles.
ELIGIBILITY

Changed the experience requirement from 'at least five seven consecutive years' to 'at least five seven consecutive years' - this appears to be a formatting correction where 'five seven' was likely intended to read 'five consecutive' or similar, clarifying that the five years must be continuous.
