<item><title>REMINDER: CONTINUING EDUCATION IS A REQUIREMENT BY THE NJREC</title><link>http://www.middlesexrealtor.com/news.cfm?fc=article&amp;id=939</link><guid>http://www.middlesexrealtor.com/news.cfm?fc=article&amp;id=939</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:00:00 PM EST</pubDate><description>REMINDER: CONTINUING EDUCATION IS A REQUIREMENT BY THE NJREC

The New Jersey Real Estate Commission (REC) adopted the rules that will be used to implement continuing education (CE) requirements for real estate licensees in New Jersey.  

 

Licensees are reminded that, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 45:15-16.2a, et seq. to be eligible to renew their license for the 2013-15 license term they will need to have acquired a total of 12 credit-hours of continuing education, including at least six in Core topics, of which at least two must be in ethics. The required credits must be obtained no later than June 30, 2013.  However, to avoid an additional $200 processing fee the required credits must be obtained by April 30, 2013. 

 

MCAR will be scheduling numerous CE approved courses that will give members a chance to earn CE credits without having to travel a distance and without a having to pay a large fee to attend.  Some courses may be more costly than others but most will be approximately $15 ($25 for non-members).

The following change has been made to Article XI, Section 3(a). Board of Directors, Fifth Paragraph:

A member who is not a primary member of the Middlesex County Association of REALTORS&#xae; cannot be an officer of the Association nor serve on the Board of Directors. In order to be elected as an officer or director, their office must be located in geographical jurisdiction of the Middlesex County Association of REALTORS&#xae;. (Added 10/2011)

We are not required to have REALTOR members vote on this change since this is a requirement imposed by NAR.
