As of July 1, 2010; your favorite real estate agent will have a new title.  With increased educational and oversight requirements, the basic license is for Brokers (used to be salespersons) and those with advance requirements (yours truly included) will be known as Managing Brokers (formerly Associate Brokers).

Along with more stringent educational requirements, all licensees will need to submit fingerprints and be subject to a background check.

Both educational and security requirements are intended to assure a better overall experience for the public.
