Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

1929

A (1929) is incorrect because it predates the actual adoption of the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act. While Pennsylvania had real estate regulations before 1980, they were different and less comprehensive than what RELRA established.

B

1980

Correct Answer
C

1989

C (1989) is incorrect because it's nine years after the actual adoption date. By 1989, the RELRA was already in place and had been governing Pennsylvania real estate licensing for nearly a decade.

D

1991

D (1991) is incorrect because it's eleven years after the actual adoption date. The RELRA was enacted in 1980 and was not adopted in 1991.

Why is this correct?

The correct answer is B (1980) because the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act was indeed adopted by Pennsylvania on February 19, 1980. This legislation established the current framework for real estate licensing in the state, replacing previous laws.
