On July 20, the Department of State published proposed rule-making updates to implement recent changes in education standards for the real estate salesperson qualifying course, which were signed into law by Governor Hochul last December. Under the new law, individuals taking the real estate salesperson qualifying course will be required to take 2 additional hours of pre-licensing education in fair housing; and individuals taking the real estate brokers qualifying course will be required to take an additional 32 hours of pre-licensing education of which 10 hours are devoted to fair housing. Instructors will also be required to submit electronically to the DOS an affirmation of compliance pertaining to the instruction of the established curriculum. The anticipated effective date of these new regulations is December 21, 2022.
