 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subparagraph (i) of  paragraph  (c)  of  subdivision  3  of
 section  441  of the real property law, as amended by chapter 697 of the
 laws of 2021, is amended to read as follows:
   (i) The secretary of state shall  promulgate  rules  establishing  the
 method,  content, setting and supervision requirements of the continuing
 education real estate course or courses provided for in this section. In
 establishing the requirements for the  continuing  education  course  or
 courses,  the  secretary of state shall permit alternatives with respect
 to content and method of presentation in consideration of  the  type  of
 brokerage  practiced  and the availability of the sources of such course
 or courses in different areas of the state. Each course  shall  have  an
 established  curriculum  composed  primarily of real estate practice and
 professional responsibility and ethics  and  properly  prepared  written
 materials  of  the  subject matter which shall be distributed as part of
 the course. It shall be taught by a  qualified  faculty  with  attorneys
 presenting  legal  subjects. Credit shall be awarded on the basis of one
 hour for each sixty minutes of actual attendance and  records  shall  be
 maintained  of  attendance at each session which shall be transmitted to
 the department at the  conclusion  of  the  course.  Computer-based  and
 distance  learning  courses may be approved by the department so long as
 providers demonstrate the ability to monitor and verify participation by
 the licensee for  the  specified  time  period.  AFTER  AN  INDIVIDUAL'S
 INITIAL  LICENSING  TERM,  UP TO SEVEN EXCESS CREDIT HOURS OF CONTINUING
 EDUCATION MAY BE ACCUMULATED DURING ANY TWO-YEAR  LICENSING  PERIOD  AND
 CARRIED FORWARD TO THE NEXT TWO-YEAR LICENSING PERIOD.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
