     All real estate brokers and salespersons shall furnish proof as the director may require that they have successfully completed a total of thirty clock hours of instruction every two years in real estate courses approved by the director in order to renew their licenses.  Up to fifteen clock hours of instruction beyond the thirty hours in two years may be carried forward for credit in a subsequent two-year period.  To count towards this requirement, a course shall be commenced within thirty-six months before the proof date for renewal.  Examinations shall not be required to fulfill any part of the education requirement in this section.  This section shall apply to renewal dates after January 1, 1991.

 

     Sec. 2.  RCW 18.85.140 and 1989 c 161 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

     Before receiving his or her license every real estate broker, every associate real estate broker, and every real estate salesperson must pay a license fee as prescribed by the director by rule.  Every license issued under the provisions of this chapter expires on the applicant's second birthday following issuance of the license.  Licenses issued to partnerships expire on a date prescribed by the director by rule.  Licenses issued to corporations expire on a date prescribed by the director by rule, except that if the corporation registration or certificate of authority filed with the secretary of state expires, the real estate broker's license issued to the corporation shall expire on that date.  Licenses must be renewed every two years on or before the date established under this section and a biennial renewal license fee as prescribed by the director by rule must be paid.

     If the application for a renewal license is not received by the director on or before the renewal date, a penalty fee as prescribed by the director by rule shall be paid.  Acceptance by the director of an application for renewal after the renewal date shall not be a waiver of the delinquency.

     The license of any person whose license renewal fee is not received within one year from the date of expiration shall be canceled.  This person may obtain a new license by satisfying the procedures and ((qualifications for initial licensing, including the successful completion of any applicable examinations)) requirements as prescribed by the director by rule.

     The director shall issue to each active licensee a license and a pocket identification card in such form and size as he or she shall prescribe.
