This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Real Estate Commission to establish a legislative rule regarding the consideration of prior criminal convictions when determining initial license eligibility for real estate professionals. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on August 9, 2024, identified as 174 CSR 07, which outlines the criteria for evaluating prior criminal convictions in the licensing process. The intent of the bill is to provide clarity and guidance on how prior criminal convictions will be assessed in relation to an individual's eligibility for obtaining a real estate license. This change aims to ensure that the licensing process is fair and consistent while allowing the Real Estate Commission the authority to implement these considerations effectively.
