Action:
General Review of Virginia Real Estate Board Licensing Regulations
Action 6446
 
General Information
Action Summary The Real Estate Board (“the Board”) intends to undertake a general regulatory review of the Virginia Real Estate Board Licensing Regulations. The regulation provides for the licensure of real estate brokers, real estate salespersons, real estate firms, and business entities. The regulation also provides for the certification of real estate schools, pre-license education instructors, and courses. The goals of the action include: 1. Review of discretionary requirements imposed on regulated parties to determine whether such requirements impose burdens that are not necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; or are not necessary to effectively administer the licensure program, in accordance with the regulatory reduction goal of Executive Directive Number One (2022); 2. Review to ensure the regulation complements current Virginia law and meets applicable federal requirements, if any; 3. Review to ensure the regulation is organized, clear, and understandable; and 4. Review to ensure the regulation provides minimal burdens on regulants while still protecting the public. In addition, the review will ensure the regulation reflects current DPOR procedures and policies, along with any other changes determined to be necessary and appropriate.
