The draft rules for SB 140, SB 141 and HB 2910 were reviewed by an advisory group last month and by the board earlier this month. The public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m., November 16, 2009, here at the Agency. The Continuing Education Work Group will hold their second meeting November 2 to continue rulemaking on SB 640. As mentioned previously, this group is focusing only on the continuing education aspect of this bill. All rulemaking work group meetings are open to the public. Following completion of the administrative rules on the continuing education portion of SB 640, the draft rules will be reviewed by an advisory group for readability and understandability. Later, work groups will be formed to deal with the two other components of the legislation; i.e., the board-approved class on law and rule changes and the principal broker examination. Back to top^
