The NAR Professional Standards Committee met on October 5, 2020, to consider recommendations from its Interpretations and Procedures Advisory Board on the Code of Ethics’ applicability to discriminatory speech and conduct. The Committee approved the Advisory Board’s recommendations, and six of them were presented to and approved by the NAR Board of Directors at their November 13, 2020 meeting. Two of the changes will be effective immediately. View training schedules, materials, and session replays.

Please see below for information on the policy changes approved by the Board of Directors, as well as frequently asked questions and other resources.

Note: In January 2023 the Directors deleted the word "handicap" and replaced it with "disability" in Article 10 and all related policies.
