David is a Michigan licensed associate broker who placed his license on inactive status two years ago while he pursued other business interests. He now wants to reactivate his license and return to practicing real estate. Under Michigan law, which of the following best describes the CE requirement he must meet before reactivating?

Correct Answer

A) David must complete the same 18-hour CE requirement that active licensees complete, covering the period since his license became inactive

Under Michigan Occupational Code and LARA-BPL rules, a licensee who held an inactive license must still satisfy the continuing education requirements for the renewal cycle before reactivating. The inactive status does not exempt a licensee from CE obligations. David must complete the required 18 hours of approved CE (including the mandatory civil rights module) for the applicable renewal period before LARA-BPL will reactivate his associate broker license. This ensures that returning licensees have current knowledge before resuming practice.

Answer Options
A
David must complete the same 18-hour CE requirement that active licensees complete, covering the period since his license became inactive
B
David is exempt from CE requirements because his license was on inactive status and he was not practicing real estate
C
David must retake the full pre-licensure education course and pass the state licensing exam before reactivating
D
David must complete only the mandatory 2-hour civil rights module before reactivation, as other CE hours are waived for inactive licensees

License requirements are the mandatory qualifications—including pre-licensing education, examination, and background checks—that a person must satisfy before legally practicing real estate. These requirements are established and enforced by each state's real estate commission.
