This bill amends the New Hampshire Real Estate Practice Act to clarify various educational requirements, specifically stating that they are measured in credit hours. It introduces the term "credit" in several sections, such as requiring applicants to complete 60 credit hours of approved study before taking their licensure examination and specifying that continuing education core courses will also be measured in credit hours. Additionally, the bill clarifies that inactive licensed principals or managing brokers are not required to maintain a surety bond and that annulled convictions will not be considered in disciplinary proceedings. It also expands the scope of prohibited discrimination to include rental activities, not just sales.

Furthermore, the bill corrects cross-references in the statutes, replacing outdated references with updated ones, such as changing references from RSA 331-A to RSA 310 in various sections. It ensures that instructors accredited to teach preparatory or continuing education programs are subject to disciplinary actions under the updated statutes. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
