For Michigan Students:
Effective February 13, 2024, all real estate professionals must complete one hour of Fair Housing training each year of their license cycle.
For those renewing within the first year of this law's effective date, the Department will consider the shortened compliance window if you are selected for a Continuing Education Audit. For renewals occurring more than one year after the law's effective date (after February 13, 2025), the Department expects at least one hour of Fair Housing training for each license cycle year since the law was enacted, though it will exercise discretion during audits.
