Real Estate Agents and Brokers - As enacted, exempts an affiliate broker or broker licensed under the Tennessee Real Estate Broker License Act from the additional licensure and classroom hours in training programs requirements for a vacation lodging service firm's designated agent; requires that vacation lodging services be under the supervision of the principal broker of an affiliate broker, broker, or firm. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 13.

HB 1916 modifies Tennessee's real estate licensing rules to exempt affiliated brokers (brokers working under a larger firm) from needing extra licenses or training hours when handling vacation lodging services. It requires that all vacation lodging services must be directly supervised by a principal broker from the affiliated broker, main broker, or firm. The bill specifically amends Tennessee Code § 62-13-104 to remove these additional requirements for vacation lodging agents while maintaining supervision standards. This affects real estate professionals managing vacation rentals in Tennessee, streamlining their licensing process without changing core regulatory oversight.
