Question

Molly was a successful real estate salesperson. She took some time off to stay at home with her first child. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. When Molly's child started school, she decided to head back to her profession, and pick up where she left off. During her at-home time, Molly hadn't kept up with any CE requirements, nor had she renewed her license after it expired almost three years earlier. Can Molly simply pick up where she left off?

No, two years after the license expires, all license rights lapse. Molly must re-qualify through the examination process before being licensed in real estate once again.
Yes, due to Molly’s experience, she may petition the CalBRE for special dispensation for her work-related experience in order to reapply for her license.
Yes, all license rights lapse after four years of non-renewal.
None of the Above.

Answer 1

Answer: Molly cannot simply pick up where she left off because two years after the license expires, all license rights lapse. Molly must re-qualify through the examination process before being licensed in real estate once again.

The mandatory CE Requirements for all Board of Behavioral Science -licensees state that a individual must receive 36 continuing education i.e. (CE) after every two (2)- year license renewal period.

Here, Molly hadn't kept up with any CE requirements, nor had she renewed her license after it expired almost three years earlier. Therefore she cannot simply pick up where she left off.
