Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Real Estate Commission to promulgate a legislative rule relating to consideration of prior criminal convictions in initial license eligibility determination.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the West Virginia Real Estate Commission to implement a legislative rule (specifically identified as 174 CSR 07) regarding how prior criminal convictions will be considered when determining initial eligibility for a real estate license. The rule, which was filed in the State Register on August 9, 2024, and authorized under section §30-1-24 of the state code, will provide guidelines for how the commission evaluates an applicant's criminal history when deciding whether to grant a real estate license. By explicitly authorizing this rule, the legislature is giving the Real Estate Commission the formal power to establish specific criteria for assessing criminal backgrounds in the licensing process, potentially providing more transparency and consistency in how such determinations are made for prospective real estate professionals.
