Given the recently declared emergency in the State of Florida; Emergency Order 20-91; the recent guidance from the CDC;, the fact that the 2018-2020 biennial renewal for licensure ended March 31, 2020 but was extended to April 30, 2020 by Emergency Order of the Secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation; and that many Real Estate professionals will be required to attend in-person continuing education courses/seminars to fulfill initial licensure or renewal requirements, the FREC finds that an immediate danger to the public health, safety, or welfare necessitates immediate action regarding this issue. In addition, at the same meeting where this Emergency Rule was proposed, the Commission determined to initiate rulemaking to amend the Commission’s underlying rules in Chapter 61J2-3, Florida Administrative Code, to allow the live-streaming of approved in-person courses through December 31, 2020; after 1 January, 2021, the existing requirements for distance course approval will resume. Notice of this meeting was published in the Florida Administrative Register in Volume 46, No.102 on May 26, 2020 and again in Volume 46, No. 112 on June 9, 2020 . In addition, notice of the FREC’s meeting was posted on the FREC’s official website.
