An Act regarding fair housing practices in the Commonwealth

Summary

The measure replaces the outdated term “salesman” with the gender‑neutral “salesperson” throughout Massachusetts real‑estate statutes and creates a clear definition for the new term. It sets minimum classroom‑hour requirements for licensing exams and renewal courses, including mandatory fair‑housing training, and obligates the real‑estate board to publish an annual, de‑identified summary of complaints and disciplinary actions. These changes aim to improve transparency and strengthen fair‑housing protections for consumers.
