Agent Robert, affiliated with Prestige Realty in Louisville, has been found guilty of a felony involving fraud. He notifies KREC of the conviction as required. Under KRS Chapter 324, which of the following most accurately describes KREC's authority in response to this notification?

Correct Answer

A) KREC may investigate the conviction and, after providing due process, impose disciplinary action including revocation if the conviction relates to the licensee's fitness to practice

Under KRS 324.160, a felony conviction — particularly one involving fraud or moral turpitude — is grounds for KREC disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation. However, KREC must follow due process procedures under KRS Chapter 13B, including providing notice and an opportunity for a hearing, before imposing discipline. KREC evaluates the conviction's relevance to the licensee's fitness to practice real estate.

Answer Options
A
KREC may investigate the conviction and, after providing due process, impose disciplinary action including revocation if the conviction relates to the licensee's fitness to practice
B
KREC must automatically revoke Robert's license upon receiving notice of any felony conviction without conducting a hearing
C
KREC has no authority to discipline Robert for a criminal conviction because criminal matters are handled exclusively by the courts
D
KREC must suspend Robert's license for exactly one year, after which he may apply for reinstatement under a standard review process
