Gov. Ron DeSantis previously extended the license renewal period to April 30, but local board\/associations closed following the governor\u2019s statewide stay-in-place order.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Realtors petitioned FREC to adopt the emergency rule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that virtual classes provide a safe way to deliver the required courses in a way that preserves the true intent of an in-person education instrument,\u201d said 2020 Florida Realtors President Barry Grooms in a letter to FREC commissioners.<\/p>\n<p>Local boards and Florida Realtors may offer live streaming courses through June 8. When available, virtual CE Express, REBAC, GRI and iCE courses offered by Florida Realtors will be advertised at floridarealtors.org\/coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>Local boards\/associations may arrange their own virtual CE classes with instructors.
