HB 155 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

REAL ESTATE/COMMISSION: Provides for expired and inactive real estate license requirements

This bill updates the requirements for real estate brokers and salespeople in Louisiana to clarify how they can regain their licenses after expiration or inactivity. It allows individuals who let their licenses lapse to reapply within a specific window without having to complete the full initial education hours again. Specifically, brokers and salespeople who renew their application by the end of the year following their expiration date can skip the standard 150-hour broker course or 90-hour salesperson course. Additionally, the law states that inactive licensees do not need to complete annual continuing education while their license is inactive, though they must finish required training before returning to active status.
