LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 839, Emmerson. Real estate: military licensee.
Existing law, the Real Estate Law, provides for the licensure and regulation of real estate brokers and salespersons by the Real Estate Commissioner. Under existing law, a military licensee in the military service of the United States is not required to renew his or her real estate license until the beginning of the license period that first commences after his or her returning to the real estate business or one year following termination of military service, whichever is the earlier. Existing law specifies that “persons in the military service of the United States” includes certain military persons and no others.
This bill would add the National Guard to that list of specified persons.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
