CAM Continuing Education Exemption Now Available Under SB 382

CAM Continuing Education Exemption Now Available Under SB 382

Governor DeSantis signed SB 382 into law on May 17, 2024, creating a continuing education exemption for certain Community Association Managers. The exemption became effective July 1, 2024, and applies to licensees who meet three specific eligibility criteria.

Who Qualifies for the Exemption

The exemption under Section 473.0055, Florida Statutes (as modified by SB 382) applies to Community Association Managers licensed by the Regulatory Council of Community Association Managers who satisfy all three of the following conditions:

• Hold an active license
• Have held the license continuously for at least 10 years
• Have no disciplinary history

Verification of Exemption Status

Licensees who believe they meet the exemption criteria may verify their status through their online account or the Department's licensing portal. This verification capability became available effective July 1, 2024.

Continuing Education Requirements for Ineligible Licensees

For CAMs who do not qualify for the exemption—whether due to fewer than 10 years of continuous licensure, a lapsed license, or prior disciplinary action—continuing education requirements remain in effect. CAMs should verify their eligibility status to understand their ongoing compliance obligations.

Bottom Line

Experienced CAMs with clean disciplinary records and 10 or more years of continuous active licensure may now be exempt from continuing education requirements under SB 382. Eligible licensees should verify their exemption status through the Department's licensing portal. Those who do not meet all three criteria remain subject to existing continuing education mandates.
