Rules Amended: 863-020-0025
Subject: The Real Estate Agency began certifying continuing
education providers in July 2010. An applicant for certification must meet one
of the qualifications listed in statute. If an applicant does not qualify, the
applicant may petition the Real Estate Board for approval of the applicant’s
qualifications and provide information on the petitioner’s background. Current
rule requires the Board to use a standard that the applicant’s qualifications
were “substantially similar” to the statutory qualifications. This standard is
difficult to use.
The temporary
rule changes the requirements for information the applicant/petitioner must
provide to the Board. The applicant/petitioner must provide sufficient
information to allow the Board to determine whether the petitioner qualifies to
be certified as a continuing education provider. The applicant must submit
information that demonstrates the petitioner’s expertise and experience in
providing educational courses to real estate licensees, or demonstrates the
petitioner’s experience and expertise in one or more course topics eligible for
continuing education credit under OAR 863-020-0035.
The Board is no
longer required to use the substantially similar standard. The Board will make
a determination based on the information provided by the applicant/petitioner
in the petition.
