Commission Action

PURPOSE: This rule establishes how the commission may take action. It further restricts the staff from engaging in the real estate industry while in the commission’s employment. (1) Any act to be taken by the commission, pursuant to the license law or these rules, may be performed by such number of the commission’s members or by the officers, employees, agents or representatives of the commission as is permitted by law and authorized by a majority of the commission’s membership. The commission may take any authorized action by a mail ballot or by a conference telephone call and the action so taken shall be recorded in the minutes of the commission. (2) Neither the director nor any other employee or agent of the commission, during the period of employment by the commission, shall engage in any act for which a license is required under the provisions of the license law or receive or become entitled to receive any fee or compensation of any kind, in any capacity whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, in connection with any real estate transaction. Nothing in this rule shall prohibit the executive director nor any employee or agent of the commission from being issued a license by the commission, so long as the license is held on an inactive status during the period of the holder’s employment.
