CA Law – Sexual Harassment Training Required Every 2 Years
Reminder: State law requires Designated Brokers to complete supervisory sexual harassment training and provide employees with access to training.
Additionally, salespeople, brokers, broker associates, and independent contractors are now personally liable for sexual harassment in professional relationships with clients—even if the relationship has ended.
To stay compliant, C.A.R. strongly recommends completing 1-hour of sexual harassment training immediately and every 2 years thereafter.
Risk Management Tip:
The responsible broker and anyone supervising agents or employees—including those who hire, fire, reward, or discipline—should also complete supervisory training.

MLS Rule Update – IDX Display of Sold Listing Photos
Effective Tuesday, March 11, an update to MLS Rule 12.16(s) will allow additional photos of sold listings to be displayed on IDX websites. Previously, only the main photo could be shown, but this change aligns with NAR, C.A.R., and most California MLSs.
What You Need to Know:
If you do not want specific photos to appear on IDX sites after a sale, you must mark them as Private while your listing is in Pending Status—before it becomes Sold.
Updated MLS Rule 12.16(s) – Use of Listing Information on Internet – IDX
(s) Sold Listings:
Only the main photo can be displayed; no additional photos are permitted.
(This line/restriction on additional photos will be removed as of March 11)
Stay informed and update your listing practices accordingly. For questions, contact CCAR Tech Support at [email protected] or 925.295.1270.
