The new or amended policies can be grouped into three broad categories:

1.    Changes to the Code of Ethics' applicability to a REALTORR's
activities;

2.    A new Standard of Practice under Article 10 prohibiting discriminatory
speech and conduct; and,

3.    Revisions to the definition of "Public Trust".

The full text of the changes, along with a comprehensive FAQ, can be found
on the
<https://www.nar.realtor/national-leadership/committee-members-liaisons/code
-of-ethics-professional-standards-policies> Code of Ethics and Professional
Standards Policies page. 

As association leaders, it is important to know that we are here to answer
any questions you may have on the changes or how to enforce them. As noted
in the
<https://www.nar.realtor/national-leadership/committee-members-liaisons/code
-of-ethics-professional-standards-policies#changesfaqs> FAQs on the Code of
Ethics and Professional Standards Policies page, the Board of Directors
approved adoption of a
<https://cdn.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/CoE-professional-stan
dards-policies-approved-by-BOD-11-13-2020.pdf> new Appendix XII to Part Four
of the Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual which lays out, with great
specificity, the proper application of Standard of Practice 10-5 and revised
Policy Statement 29 such that consistent application of these policies can
be achieved. NAR's professional standards policies also include a defined

and balances to protect members and evaluate potential Code violations.

NAR is also providing monthly training to leaders who wish to gain a deeper
understanding of the policy changes.
