Marcus, a licensed Louisiana salesperson, is facing a fair housing complaint filed with the Louisiana Human Rights Commission (LHRC) alleging he steered a family away from a predominantly white neighborhood based on their race. Under Louisiana's fair housing enforcement framework, all of the following statements about the consequences and process are accurate EXCEPT:

Correct Answer

C) The LREC is legally prohibited from taking any disciplinary action against Marcus's license until the LHRC complaint is fully resolved.

The statement in option C is false and is therefore the correct answer to this EXCEPT question. The LREC is NOT legally prohibited from acting on Marcus's license while an LHRC complaint is pending. The LREC has independent authority under La. R.S. 37:1455 to investigate and discipline licensees for violations of fair housing laws and LREC rules. The two agencies operate under separate statutory frameworks and may pursue their respective proceedings concurrently. There is no legal requirement that LREC must wait for the LHRC process to conclude before initiating its own disciplinary action.

Answer Options
A
The LHRC may attempt conciliation between the complainant and Marcus before proceeding to a formal hearing.
B
If the LHRC finds probable cause, the matter may be referred for a formal administrative hearing or civil action.
C
The LREC is legally prohibited from taking any disciplinary action against Marcus's license until the LHRC complaint is fully resolved.
D
A finding of fair housing violation by the LHRC can serve as the basis for LREC disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of Marcus's license.
