Bill > HB1568

This bill modifies Indiana's real estate broker licensing requirements to allow licensed attorneys to obtain a real estate broker license without completing the typically required approved broker course of study. Specifically, the bill creates an exception for attorneys licensed to practice law in Indiana, exempting them from the standard educational requirements (specifically the approved broker course of study) when applying for a real estate broker license. The bill requires the Indiana Real Estate Commission to amend its administrative rules by June 30, 2026, to permit attorneys to sit for the broker examination without having completed the usual educational coursework. The provisions are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and the rule-making provisions will expire on July 1, 2027. An emergency clause is included, which typically means the bill can take effect immediately upon becoming law. The change aims to provide a streamlined licensing path for attorneys who wish to become real estate brokers, recognizing their legal training and professional background as potentially equivalent to the standard educational requirements for the real estate broker license.
