S 165 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act further regulating the continuing education requirements for real estate brokers and salespersons

This bill updates Massachusetts law to give the state licensing board more flexibility in approving continuing education courses for real estate brokers and salespersons. It authorizes the board to create its own rules regarding the professional education needed to renew these licenses. By allowing the board to determine which programs satisfy requirements, the legislation aims to modernize how agents maintain their credentials. The changes directly affect real estate professionals who must complete ongoing training to keep their licenses active.
