Governor Thompson appoints a new member to the Missouri Real Estate Commission. The appointee, Dr. Rivera, is a retired professor of economics who has never held a real estate license. The Missouri Senate confirms the appointment. Which of the following best describes Dr. Rivera's role on MREC and the length of her term?

Correct Answer

D) Dr. Rivera serves as the public member of MREC, representing consumer interests, and will serve a five-year term

RSMo § 339.010 provides that MREC includes one public member who is not a real estate licensee. This public member is appointed by the Governor with Senate confirmation, just like the five broker members, and serves the same five-year staggered term. Dr. Rivera, as a non-licensee, fills this public member seat and has full voting rights on Commission matters, serving as a consumer advocate on the board.

Answer Options
A
Dr. Rivera serves as an advisory member only and may not vote on licensing or disciplinary matters
B
Dr. Rivera serves as the public member of MREC and will serve a three-year term, which is shorter than the broker members' five-year terms
C
Dr. Rivera cannot serve on MREC because all members must be licensed real estate brokers with at least 10 years of experience
D
Dr. Rivera serves as the public member of MREC, representing consumer interests, and will serve a five-year term
