H 735 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to issuance of temporary licenses for incapacitation of real estate brokers

This bill (H 735) allows the Vermont Real Estate Commission to issue temporary licenses to a broker's legal representative if the broker becomes unable to work due to incapacity (e.g., illness or injury). It directly affects licensed real estate brokers who experience incapacity and their designated legal representatives. The key provision creates a process for the Commission to grant these temporary licenses, enabling the legal representative to handle the broker's pending transactions and duties without requiring a full license application. This avoids delays in closing real estate deals during the broker's temporary inability to work. The bill does not change existing licensing requirements for active brokers.
