Title 19 - DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Chapter II - Public Access To Records
Part 80 - Examination And Copying Of Records
Section 80.10 - Intent

It is the intent of the department to ensure that information regarding approved real estate courses will be readily available to licensed real estate brokers and salespeople, who are required to attend approved courses as a condition to continued licensure pursuant to article 12-A of the Real Property Law. The Legislature has expressed, through amendments to such law, a strong public policy that such licensees remain knowledgeable about current laws and practices bearing on the real estate brokerage business. To further effectuate this policy, the department will prepare lists described in section 80.11 of this Part, to be available pursuant to this Part. The information contained in the lists will be limited to that already generally available in the public domain by virtue of its nature and of the dissemination of information on lists released pursuant to court order in New York State Association of Realtors, Inc. v. Paterson, No. 4514-81 (Supreme Court, Albany County, July 20, 1981).
