Tom is a licensed real estate broker in Wyoming who recently relocated to Bozeman, Montana. He wants to obtain a Montana broker license without repeating all pre-license education. Under Montana law, which of the following statements most accurately describes the reciprocity or waiver options available to Tom?

Correct Answer

A) Montana may waive certain education or examination requirements for out-of-state licensees, but Tom must still apply to the MBRR, meet Montana's specific requirements, and pass the Montana state portion of the examination.

Montana does not offer blanket automatic reciprocity but may grant waivers of certain pre-license education or the national portion of the examination to applicants who hold an active license in another state, subject to MBRR review. However, all out-of-state applicants must still apply to the MBRR, satisfy Montana's specific requirements, and pass the Montana state portion of the licensing examination to ensure knowledge of Montana-specific law. This reflects the MBRR's approach to license portability under MCA Title 37, Chapter 51.

Answer Options
A
Montana may waive certain education or examination requirements for out-of-state licensees, but Tom must still apply to the MBRR, meet Montana's specific requirements, and pass the Montana state portion of the examination.
B
Montana does not recognize any out-of-state licenses, so Tom must complete all 70 hours of pre-license education and pass both portions of the Montana examination.
C
Montana offers full automatic reciprocity to all Wyoming licensees, so Tom may obtain a Montana broker license simply by submitting proof of his Wyoming license.
D
Tom may practice as a broker in Montana under his Wyoming license for up to 90 days before applying for a Montana license.
