Starting on January 1, 2022, a new Rhode Island law will require real estate licensees to complete a minimum of three hours of approved continuing education about federal, Rhode Island or local fair housing laws or treatment of individuals with disabilities before you renew your license. 

• This requirement applies to renewals only and must be met during every 24 month renewal cycle starting in 2022.
• Prelicensing candidates will be tested on federal and Rhode Island fair housing law but are not required to complete an additional three-hour fair housing class.
• Read the official bulletin from the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation: Real Estate Appraisers Board Meetings for 2012 (ri.gov)
