HB 2624 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

timeshare salespersons; licensure

HB 2624 amends Arizona's real estate licensing laws to clarify definitions for timeshare salespersons, ensuring consistent application of licensure rules. The bill updates Section 32-2101 with specific terms like "advertising" (excluding certain media communications) and "affiliate" to define industry relationships. This directly affects individuals and companies selling timeshares in Arizona who must now comply with these clarified standards. The bill does not establish new licensing requirements but provides a clearer regulatory framework for existing rules.

MODERATE
This bill updates Arizona's real estate licensing laws to formally recognize and regulate timeshare salespersons as a distinct license category. It adds specific definitions for timeshare-related terms, establishes examination requirements tailored to timeshare sales, and allows for a temporary 30-day certificate of convenience for timeshare salespersons without requiring a full examination. The changes aim to reduce barriers to entry for timeshare sales while maintaining consumer protection through broker oversight.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of Arizona's real estate licensing to explicitly include timeshare salespersons as a separate license type, previously not clearly distinguished from general real estate salespersons.
DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'timeshare', 'timeshare property', and 'timeshare salesperson' to clarify the scope of activities covered under the new license category.

REQUIREMENT

Added specific examination requirements for timeshare salesperson licenses, including knowledge of timeshare ownership methods, contracts, and business ethics related to timeshare operations.

Created a new provision allowing the commissioner to issue a one-time 30-day certificate of convenience to timeshare salesperson applicants without requiring them to pass the full examination, provided they will be trained by their broker.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified license requirements and renewal provisions to include timeshare salespersons alongside cemetery and membership camping brokers and salespersons.

TIMELINE

Set the effective date of the act to June 30, 2026, allowing time for implementation of new licensing procedures.
