Broker is 22, 30 named hours, 36/60, 60-item Alaska law paper. AS 08.88.171(b) still prints 24/36 for associate broker; live form #08-4160 collects 36/60.

This paper cannot be renamed to another state: the age is 19, the state paper scores the Landlord Tenant Act, and a passed national does not bank.
