Similar to the recent changes made other professional license requirements, this Act does all of the following: 1. Defines when a crime is substantially related to the professions regulated by the Real Estate Commission. 2. Reduces the time since conviction to be eligible for a waiver of a felony conviction for a crime against a person from 5 years to 3 years. 3. Reduces the time since conviction to be eligible for a waiver of all other felony conviction for a crime from 5 years to 2 years. 4. Clarifies what is meant by being on parole. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
