Real Estate Agents and Brokers - As enacted, exempts a real estate broker licensee who was originally licensed prior to January 1, 2005, and does not supervise any affiliate brokers from the requirement to furnish certification of satisfactory completion of 16 classroom hours in real estate courses for reissuance of a license for a licensure period after the period in which the licensee completed the required 120 classroom hours in real estate. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 13.
SB 886 exempts certain real estate brokers in Tennessee from a continuing education requirement. Specifically, it removes the need for brokers originally licensed before January 1, 2005, who do not supervise affiliate brokers to complete 16 hours of real estate training every two years for license renewal. This change applies to license reissuance after brokers have already completed the initial 120 hours of required education. The bill modifies existing license rules in Tennessee Code Annotated Title 62, Chapter 13, effective January 1, 2026. It directly affects older brokers without supervisory roles, simplifying their renewal process.
