1.
The Commission shall adopt regulations that prescribe the standards for the continuing education of persons licensed pursuant to this chapter.2.
The standards adopted pursuant to subsection 1 must:(a)
Require a minimum of 36 hours of continuing education; and(b)
Permit alternatives of subject material, taking cognizance of specialized areas of practice and alternatives in sources of programs considering availability in area and time. The standards must include, where qualified, generally accredited educational institutions, private vocational schools, educational programs and seminars of professional societies and organizations, other organized educational programs on technical subjects, or equivalent offerings. The Commission shall qualify only those educational courses that it determines address the appropriate subject matter and are given by an accredited university or community college. Subject to the provisions of this section, the Commission has exclusive authority to determine what is an appropriate subject matter for qualification as a continuing education course.3.
In addition to any other standards for continuing education that the Commission adopts by regulation pursuant to this section, the Commission:(a)
Shall, without limitation, adopt by regulation standards for continuing education that set forth certain mandatory subject matter which must be completed by every person who is licensed as a real estate broker, real estate broker-salesperson or real estate salesperson. Standards which are adopted pursuant to this section must authorize a person who is 65 years of age or older to apply to the Division for an exemption from any requirement to complete continuing education other than the mandatory subject matter which is set forth in regulations adopted pursuant to this paragraph if the person has been licensed in good standing as a real estate broker, real estate broker-salesperson or real estate salesperson in this State for 30 years or longer at the time of his or her application for an exemption.(b)
May, without limitation, adopt by regulation standards for continuing education that:(1)
Establish a postlicensing curriculum of continuing education which must be completed by a person within the first year immediately after the initial licensing of the person.(2)
Require a person whose license as a real estate broker or real estate broker-salesperson has been placed on inactive status for any reason for 1 year or more or has been suspended or revoked to complete a course of instruction in broker management that is designed to fulfill the educational requirements for issuance of a license which are described in paragraph (e) of subsection 2 of NRS 645.343, before the person’s license is reissued or reinstated.4.
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection and regulations adopted pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 3, the license of a real estate broker, broker-salesperson or salesperson must not be renewed or reinstated unless the Administrator finds that the applicant for the renewal license or for reinstatement to active status has completed the continuing education required by this chapter. Any amendment or repeal of a regulation does not operate to prevent an applicant from complying with this section for the next licensing period following the amendment or repeal.
