SB 263: Required courses as of 2023. DRE Sponsor No. 4295

This package is needed for any licensee who registered for our 45-hour package before this year (2023).  Such licensees must take two additional courses to satisfy their continuing education requirement for license renewal:  (1) a two-hour course entitled Implicit Bias Training and (2) a “revised” Fair Housing course that includes an “interactive/participatory” component.

This five-hour package is named after the legislation that required it – Senate Bill 263.

Implicit Bias Training — two hours.

• Describes how implicit biases and other cognitive biases may subconsciously influence the real estate agent in his/her dealings with clients.
• Provides a history of systemic discrimination towards African-Americans prior to the enactment of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and how these policies may be partly responsible for the patterns of housing segregation that persist today.
• Presents studies showing how “implicit biases” have impacted other domains such as education, health care, academia, the workplace, and, of course, real estate brokerage.
• Reviews the fair housing laws.
• Describes how the student can recognize his/her own implicit biases and mitigate their influences upon his/her practice of real estate brokerage.

Fair Housing — three hours.

This is the very same Fair Housing course offered in our pre-2023 45-Hour package but with an added “interactive/participatory” component.  To take this component, you need only click the Scenarios button from your Course Work page as shown below — it typically takes only a few minutes to complete.
