Who can exercise the authority to promulgate publications and investigate complaints within the Florida Real Estate Commission?

• A. The Governor
• B. The Chairperson Alone, or Delegated to Another Commission Member with Quorum
• C. The Attorney General
• D. The Department Secretary

Answer: (B)

The authority to issue official publications and handle investigations within the Florida Real Estate Commission is exercised by the Commission’s leadership, specifically the Chairperson. The Chair can act alone, or delegate these duties to another Commission member as long as a quorum is present. This arrangement keeps such regulatory actions within the Commission and ensures they are carried out with proper oversight and validity. The Governor, Attorney General, or the Department Secretary don’t personally exercise this internal Commission authority; they may be involved in broader oversight or legal matters, but the actual promulgation of publications and investigation of complaints is an internal function led by the Chair or a designated Commissioner.
