2023-75 LR  
Title of proposed rule set:  
Real Estate Brokers and Salespersons – General Rules  
3. Purpose for the proposed rules and background:  
The Real Estate Brokers and Salesperson General Rules pertain to licensure and license renewal for  
real estate brokers and salespersons and establish requirements for schools offering prelicensure  
educational programs.  
Effective February 13, 2024, an amendment to MCL 339.2504a changed the continuing education  
requirements for licensees. The rules will be amended in compliance with that statutory change.  
Additionally, all rules will be reviewed to ensure that information is up-to-date and revised as needed  
for clarity.  
4. Summary of proposed rules:  
The proposed rules amend definitions; clarify the effect on a real estate salesperson’s or associate real  
estate broker’s license if there is a lapse in a broker’s license or if the broker dies or becomes  
disabled; add a rule advising licensees of the proper procedure for seeking a continuing education  
waiver; amend the continuing education requirements to align with the requirements of MCL  
339.2504a; and rescind and relocate some rules to comply with current drafting requirements and for  
organization and clarity.
