Summary

The bill changes New York’s real‑property licensing rules so that anyone seeking a broker’s license must have at least four consecutive years of supervised sales experience, or equivalent experience, instead of two. It also requires proof of a 152‑hour approved real‑estate course, cultural‑competency training, and knowledge of fair‑housing laws. The changes aim to improve consumer protection by ensuring brokers have more practical experience and broader awareness of diverse communities.
