What This Bill Does

Colorado extends the Division of Real Estate and the Real Estate Commission for 11 years until 2037, grants the commission new disciplinary and licensing powers, and updates communication and disclosure requirements. The law lengthens the wait time for revoked licensees to reapply from one to two years, authorizes electronic communication, and requires brokers to disclose s at the time of referral.

Why it matters

Real estate professionals face stricter reapplication timelines after license revocations, new continuing education compliance requirements, and shifted timing for business arrangement disclosures.

Who It Affects

Groups the bill's text affects, as described in the record. Being affected is not a position for or against it.

Directly affected

Real Estate License Applicants

Applicants with revoked licenses must wait two years instead of one before reapplying, and the commission gains explicit authority to deny licenses for certain offenses.
