A Minnesota real estate salesperson, Kevin, is found guilty of felony theft unrelated to his real estate practice. Under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 82, which of the following best describes the likely consequence for Kevin's real estate license?

Correct Answer

D) Kevin's license may be suspended or revoked because a felony conviction is a statutory ground for disciplinary action

Under Minn. Stat. Ch. 82, a felony conviction — even if unrelated to real estate activities — is a recognized ground for license suspension or revocation. The MN DOC may take disciplinary action after notice and an opportunity for a hearing. The conviction does not need to be real-estate-related to trigger disciplinary proceedings.

Answer Options
A
Kevin's license is automatically revoked by operation of law upon a felony conviction without any hearing
B
Kevin may only receive a written reprimand because the crime did not involve real estate fraud
C
No action can be taken because the crime was unrelated to his real estate practice
D
Kevin's license may be suspended or revoked because a felony conviction is a statutory ground for disciplinary action
