Sec. 2504a.  (1) Subject to subsection (6), a licensee must successfully complete at least the following number of hours of eligible continuing education courses in each license cycle:

(2) All of the following apply to the continuing education requirement described in subsection (1):

(3) An applicant for license renewal under section 2502a   1 shall certify compliance with subsections (1) and (2) to the department.  A licensee shall retain evidence acceptable to the department that demonstrates the licensee has met the continuing education requirements under this section, for not less than 4 years after the date of that certification, and shall produce the following information at the request of the department:

(4) An applicant for license renewal under section 2502a is subject to audit by the department for compliance with subsections (1) and (2), or (6), and may be required to submit the documentation described in subsection (3) to the department on request.

(5) If the department finds as the result of an audit under subsection (4) that an applicant for license renewal under section 2502a did not complete sufficient hours of eligible continuing education courses to renew the licensee's license, any penalty imposed by the department must include a requirement that the licensee complete a sufficient number of additional hours of continuing education to fulfill the requirements for the period determined by audit to be deficient.

(6) If a real estate broker, associate real estate broker, or salesperson receives a license that is issued after the beginning of the current license cycle for that license, the department may prorate the number of hours of eligible continuing education that licensee is required to complete under subsections (1) and (2) for the year of the license cycle in which the license is issued.

(7) Course credits used to meet continuing education requirements under this section do not apply toward the real estate broker's license prelicensure education requirements under section 2504,  2 and course credits successfully completed under real estate broker's license prelicensure education requirements under section 2504 do not apply toward the continuing education requirements of this section.

(8) As used in this section, “eligible continuing education course” means a continuing education course that meets the standards established by the department by rule under subsection (2)(f) and, if successfully completed by a licensee, is counted toward the licensee's continuing education requirements under this section.
