Text

(1) Except as
otherwise provided in this section, all proceedings before the commission with
respect to disciplinary actions and denial of licensure under this part 2 and part 4 of
this article 10 and certifications issued under part 5 of this article 10 shall be
conducted by an administrative law judge pursuant to the provisions of sections 24-4-104 and 24-4-105.

(2) The proceedings shall be held in the county where the commission has its
office or in such other place as the commission may designate. If the licensee is an
employed broker, the commission shall also notify the broker employing the
licensee by mailing, by first-class mail, a copy of the written notice required under
section 24-4-104 (3) to the employing broker's last-known business address.

(3) An administrative law judge shall conduct all hearings for denying,
suspending, or revoking a license or certificate on behalf of the commission, subject
to appropriations made to the department of personnel. Each administrative law
judge shall be appointed pursuant to part 10 of article 30 of title 24. The
administrative law judge shall conduct the hearing pursuant to the provisions of
sections 24-4-104 and 24-4-105. No license shall be denied, suspended, or revoked
until the commission has made its decision by a majority vote.

(4) The decision of the commission in any disciplinary action or denial of
licensure under this section is subject to review by the court of appeals by
appropriate proceedings under section 24-4-106 (11). In order to effectuate the
purposes of parts 2, 4, and 5 of this article 10, the commission has the power to
promulgate rules pursuant to article 4 of title 24. The commission may appear in
court by its own attorney.

(5) Pursuant to the proceeding, the court has the right, in its discretion, to
stay the execution or effect of any final order of the commission; but a hearing shall
be held affording the parties an opportunity to be heard for the purpose of
determining whether the public health, safety, and welfare would be endangered by
staying the commission's order. If the court determines that the order should be
stayed, it shall also determine at the hearing the amount of the bond and adequacy
of the surety, which bond shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance by the
petitioner of all obligations as a real estate broker and upon the prompt payment of
all damages arising from or caused by the delay in the taking effect of or
enforcement of the order complained of and for all costs that may be assessed or
required to be paid in connection with the proceedings.

(6) In any hearing conducted by the commission in which there is a possibility
of the denial, suspension, or revocation of a license because of the conviction of a
felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude, the commission shall be governed by
the provisions of section 24-5-101.
