SF 15 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the license application form for real estate brokers and salespersons.

This bill amends Iowa's real estate licensing process by requiring the application form to let brokers or salespersons switching license types (e.g., broker applying for salesperson or vice versa) choose whether their new license takes effect immediately upon approval or when their current license expires. It directly affects real estate professionals seeking to upgrade or downgrade their licenses. The key provision adds a simple checkbox or option on the application form to specify the desired effective date. This change streamlines the transition between license types without altering other licensing requirements.
