engaging in a business, and the first sentence of §
230(a), except as it related to engaging in a
business.

governing other regulated occupations in the Code.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to an
"associate real estate broker" is added in conformity
with provisions added throughout this title to provide
a licensing scheme for associate real estate brokers.
See the General Subcommittee Comment to this title.

that referred to "June 1, 1939" are deleted as
obsolete.

broker or real estate salesman are deleted as
erroneous. Only an individual, not a business entity,
may be licensed as a real estate broker or a real
estate salesperson.
