Plain-language change summary

The revised bill SB 5378 maintains the requirement for real estate brokers and managing brokers to complete at least 30 hours of approved education every two years for license renewal. A notable change is that it specifically mandates 6 hours of this instruction to focus on fair housing education and preventing unfair practices. This addition is important because it emphasizes the significance of understanding fair housing laws, which can help promote equality and prevent discrimination in real estate transactions.
