LARA-BPL receives a written complaint against Broker Fiona alleging that she misrepresented the square footage of a home she listed. Fiona claims the complaint is baseless. Under Michigan law, which of the following best describes Fiona's right in the disciplinary process?

Correct Answer

B) Fiona is entitled to notice of the complaint and an opportunity to be heard before any disciplinary action is imposed

Under the Michigan Occupational Code and the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act (MCL 24.201 et seq.), licensees subject to disciplinary proceedings are entitled to due process, which includes notice of the charges and an opportunity to be heard — typically through an administrative hearing — before any disciplinary action is imposed. LARA-BPL must follow these procedural requirements before suspending or revoking a license.

Answer Options
A
Fiona has no right to contest the complaint; LARA-BPL's determination is final and non-appealable
B
Fiona is entitled to notice of the complaint and an opportunity to be heard before any disciplinary action is imposed
C
Fiona must immediately surrender her license pending the outcome of the investigation
D
Fiona may only respond in writing; she has no right to an in-person hearing under Michigan law
