CT HB05375

Creates two different licensing pathways for real estate brokers depending on application date: one for applicants before January 1, 2021, and a more stringent one for applicants on or after January 1, 2021.

For applicants after January 1, 2021, requires 1,500 hours of active engagement as a licensed salesperson over the three years prior to application (instead of just two years), with supervisor certification of hours worked.

Requires applicants after January 1, 2021, to have represented at least four closed real estate transactions within three years preceding application, a new requirement not previously mandated.

Maintains course requirements for both pathways: 60 hours in real estate principles and practices, 15 hours in legal compliance, 15 hours in brokerage principles, and two 15-hour elective courses.

Allows waiver of elective courses if applicant has completed at least 20 real estate transactions within five years before application; requires supervising brokers to certify applicant records within 90 days of receipt.
