An Act requiring fair housing education for all real estate licensees

HD 677 requires all real estate license applicants and renewing brokers/salespeople in Massachusetts to complete specific education on fair housing. New applicants must take 40 classroom hours, including at least 4 hours on fair housing law or diversity. Renewing licensees must complete 6-12 hours of continuing education, including at least 2 hours on fair housing law and 4 hours from other topics like accessibility or agency law. This bill directly affects all individuals holding or seeking a Massachusetts real estate license by mandating these education components.
