The summary is not part of the amended rule.) Rule 61J23.008, Prelicensing Education for Broker and Salesperson Applicants, was amended effective January 18, 2000. Paragraph (3) was deleted because the requirement regarding post-licensing is redundant and is covered elsewhere. Paragraph (4)(b) deleted reference to an Instructors Guide for the Course I syllabus. Paragraph (5)(a) removed the 60-day deadline for the BPR to accept license applications because there was no statutory authority for the deadline. Paragraph (7) states that a student must wait at least 30 days from the date of taking the original end-of-course exam before attempting the exam a second time. Students may retake the end-of-course exam only one time during a one-year period. (Note: Students may, however, choose to retake the course and in such cases, may take the end-of-course exam.)
