This bill amends the West Virginia Real Estate License Act by adding a new requirement for applicants seeking a real estate salesperson's license. Specifically, it mandates that applicants must submit proof of legal citizenship in the United States, in addition to the existing requirements of completing the necessary education course and passing the required examinations.
The bill does not remove any existing qualifications but enhances the criteria for obtaining a salesperson's license by ensuring that only U.S. citizens can be licensed. This change aims to strengthen the integrity of the real estate profession in West Virginia by ensuring that all licensed salespersons are legally recognized citizens.
