Summary

Existing law, the Real Estate Law, provides for the licensure and regulation of real estate brokers and salesmen by the Real Estate Commissioner, the chief officer of the Bureau of Real Estate. (1) Under existing law, a real estate salesman is a natural person who is licensed and employed by a licensed real estate broker to do specified acts. Under existing law, whenever the word salesman is used in specified provisions of law, it means salesperson. However, existing law authorizes a licensee to refer to the licensed status as real estate salesman, real estate saleswoman, or real estate salesperson. This bill would rename the licensed status of "real estate salesman" as a "real estate salesperson" and would make numerous conforming changes in this regard. The bill would also recast the provision authorizing a licensee to refer to his or her licensed status as described above. (2) Under existing law, if the commissioner has cause to believe that a person who does not possess a real estate license is engaged or has engaged in activities for which a real estate license is required, the commissioner or his or her designated representative is authorized to issue a citation to that person. Existing law prohibits a license from being renewed if an unpaid fine remains outstanding or the terms of a citation have not been complied with. This bill would additionally prohibit a license from being issued under those circumstances. (3) This bill would make various nonsubstantive changes.
