Florida Division of Real Estate Disciplinary Proceedings

On the Official Internet Site of the Florida Legislature, the 2012 Statutes are listed for the Division of Real Estate.  This is just a sampling of the “Statute 455.225 Disciplinary proceedings.”
 
“A formal hearing before an administrative law judge from the Division of Administrative Hearings shall be held pursuant to chapter 120 if there are any disputed issues of material fact. The administrative law judge shall issue a recommended order pursuant to chapter 120. If any party raises an issue of disputed fact during an informal hearing, the hearing shall be terminated and a formal hearing pursuant to chapter 120 shall be held.”
 
“The appropriate board, with those members of the panel, if any, who reviewed the investigation pursuant to subsection (4) being excused, or the department when there is no board, shall determine and issue the final order in each disciplinary case. Such order shall constitute final agency action. Any consent order or agreed settlement shall be subject to the approval of the department.”
 
“The department shall have standing to seek judicial review of any final order of the board, pursuant to s. 120.68.”
 
‘Any proceeding for the purpose of summary suspension of a license, or for the restriction of the license, of a licensee pursuant to s. 120.60(6) shall be conducted by the Secretary of Business and Professional Regulation or his or her designee, who shall issue the final summary order.”
 
“The department shall periodically notify the person who filed the complaint of the status of the investigation, whether probable cause has been found, and the status of any civil action or administrative proceeding or appeal.”
 
This ends the information from the website of the Florida Legislature.
