HB 4319 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Real Estate Commission to promulgate a legislative rule relating to licensing real estate brokers, associate brokers, and salespersons, and the conduct of brokerage business.

HB 4319 authorizes the West Virginia Real Estate Commission to implement a specific rule (174 CSR 01) governing licensing requirements for real estate brokers, associate brokers, and salespersons, as well as standards for brokerage business conduct. This rule, developed and modified to address legislative concerns, establishes clear guidelines for professional licensing and ethical operations in the real estate industry. The bill directly affects real estate professionals and brokerage businesses by formalizing these standards under state law. It does not create new rules but authorizes an existing, reviewed rule to become effective.
