Broker Nadia operates a small brokerage in Paducah. She also serves as a property manager for several residential rental properties. One of her managed properties is the subject of a fair housing complaint filed with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights. KREC is simultaneously investigating Nadia for related conduct. Which of the following most accurately describes the relationship between the two proceedings?

Correct Answer

B) KREC and the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights may conduct simultaneous, independent proceedings, and findings in one do not bind the other

KREC and the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights are separate agencies with independent jurisdiction. KREC may investigate and discipline Nadia under KRS Chapter 324 for conduct that also constitutes a fair housing violation, because discriminatory conduct by a licensee is independently grounds for license discipline. The two agencies may proceed simultaneously, and a finding by one agency neither requires nor precludes action by the other. This dual-track enforcement is an important nuance of Kentucky's regulatory framework.

Answer Options
A
The KREC investigation must be stayed until the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights resolves the fair housing complaint
B
KREC and the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights may conduct simultaneous, independent proceedings, and findings in one do not bind the other
C
Only the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights has jurisdiction over Nadia's conduct because the complaint involves fair housing, not license law
D
KREC must defer all fair housing matters to the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights and cannot independently discipline Nadia for fair housing violations
