TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 40-57-155 SO AS TO REQUIRE CONTINUING EDUCATION AS A CONDITION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL OF A REAL ESTATE BROKER OR SALESMAN AND TO PROVIDE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 40-57-155. As a condition for license renewal a broker or salesman, resident or nonresident, must annually complete satisfactorily six hours of course instruction prescribed by the commission at a school approved by the commission. The course must include a test at the completion of the instruction which must be passed with a satisfactory grade as determined by the course instructor. A salesman enrolled in a thirty-hour course for qualification as a broker is not required to participate in the continuing education program for that particular year. A broker or salesman who decides to become inactive is not required to participate in continuing education but shall complete the six-hours requirement before he returns to active status."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1992.
