I think this bill creates an undue hardship on new licensees to complete a mandatory training in too short a period of time. As a licensee I understand the costs of getting started in real estate and the amount of time it takes to get started. Requiring these courses in 6 months is too short a period of time.
This bill also requires brokers to maintain their education levels as well - which is a good thing.
Current real estate license laws have a near-negligently-low threshold for entry. The current 60 hours required to gain a license is laughable and serves only to reinforce the public's perception that anybody can get a license with little to no effort.
This bill will do what it intends to do - mandate a little bit of practical education.
...requires a minimum of three hours of continuing education for salespersons and brokers to be on ethics and standards of conduct,...
I think that should be 6 hours "on Ethics and Standards of Conduct" if they work for Real Estate-3.
