326.87 CONTINUING EDUCATION.
    Subdivision 1. Standards. The commissioner, in consultation with the council, may adopt
standards for continuing education requirements and course approval. The standards must include
requirements for continuing education in the implementation of energy codes applicable to
buildings and other building codes designed to conserve energy. Except for the course content,
the standards must be consistent with the standards established for real estate agents and other
professions licensed by the Department of Commerce. At a minimum, the content of one hour of
any required continuing education must contain information on lead abatement rules and safe
lead abatement procedures.
    Subd. 2. Hours. A qualifying person of a licensee must provide proof of completion of seven
hours of continuing education per year. To the extent the commissioner considers it appropriate,
courses or parts of courses may be considered to satisfy both continuing education requirements
under this section and continuing real estate education requirements.
    Subd. 3. Accessibility. To the extent possible, the commissioner shall ensure that continuing
education courses are offered throughout the state and are easily accessible to all licensees.
    Subd. 4. Renewal of accreditation. The commissioner is authorized to establish a procedure
for renewal of course accreditation.
