HB 4636 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Change the title from Salesperson in State Code to Sales agent for thoses who sell real estate.

HB 4636 changes the official term "salesperson" to "sales agent" in West Virginia's real estate licensing code. This bill directly affects real estate professionals who work under a broker's supervision, updating terminology across multiple sections of the state code. The key mechanism is a simple terminology revision - replacing "salesperson" with "sales agent" in definitions and licensing requirements without altering any duties, qualifications, or regulatory processes. The bill does not create new requirements or change how real estate transactions are conducted.
