Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between the Georgia Real Estate Commission and its agency staff?

Correct Answer

B) Commission members are different from agency staff such as investigators, licensing personnel, and education personnel.

Under O.C.G.A. Title 43, Chapter 40, the Georgia Real Estate Commission members are gubernatorial appointees who exercise regulatory decision-making authority, including rulemaking and disciplinary actions. Agency staff—such as investigators, licensing specialists, and education coordinators—handle the day-to-day administrative and investigative functions of the agency. These are distinct roles: Commission members set policy and adjudicate disciplinary matters, while staff implement and support those functions.
