Correct Answer

D) CREC may revoke, suspend, or place conditions on the license, and may impose a civil penalty.

Under CGS § 20-320 and related provisions of Chapter 392, CREC has broad disciplinary authority including the power to revoke, suspend, or place conditions on a real estate license, and to impose civil penalties. CREC can take these actions administratively without requiring separate court proceedings for each disciplinary measure.

Answer Options
A
CREC may impose criminal fines only, as civil penalties require a separate court action.
B
CREC may only issue a written warning for a first offense and must refer repeat violations to the courts.
C
CREC may suspend the license but must obtain Superior Court approval before revoking any license.
D
CREC may revoke, suspend, or place conditions on the license, and may impose a civil penalty.
