Under Georgia license law, how is regulatory authority distributed between the Georgia Real Estate Commission and its agency staff?

The Commission may adopt and enforce rules within its statutory authority, while staff carry out administrative and investigative functions.

Agency investigators and information specialists hold voting seats on the Commission and participate in disciplinary decisions.
