HOUSE BILL 590

 

AN ACT TO CLARIFY CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM LICENSING, TO AUTHORIZE THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION TO INCREASE CERTAIN FEES, AND TO INTRODUCE A STAGGERED RENEWAL SYSTEM FOR LICENSEES.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 93A-2(c)(6) is amended by deleting the word "residential" each time it appears.

Sec. 2.  The last sentence of G.S. 93A-4(a) is amended by deleting "twenty dollars ($20.00)" and substituting "thirty dollars ($30.00)".

Sec. 3.  The first two sentences of G.S. 93A-4(c) are rewritten to read:

"(c)      All licenses issued by the Commission under the provisions of this Chapter shall expire on the 30th day of June following issuance or on any other date that the Commission may determine and shall become invalid after that date unless reinstated. A license may be renewed 45 days prior to the expiration date by filing an application with and paying to the Executive Director of the Commission the fee required by the Commission, which may not exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00). The Commission may adopt rules establishing a system of license renewal in which the licenses expire annually with varying expiration dates. These rules shall provide for prorating the annual fee to cover the initial renewal period so that no licensee shall be charged an amount greater than the annual fee for any 12-month period."

Sec. 4.  The last sentence of G.S. 93A-4(c) is amended by deleting "one dollar ($1.00)" and substituting "five dollars ($5.00)".

Sec. 5.  G.S. 93A-4(c) is amended by adding a new sentence at the end to read:  "Commission certification of a licensee's license history shall be made only after the payment of a fee of ten dollars ($10.00)."

Sec. 6.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1985.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 1st day of July, 1985.
