Broker Martinez has been found by OREC to have commingled client funds with her personal bank account on multiple occasions. Under the Oklahoma Real Estate License Code, which of the following disciplinary actions is OREC authorized to impose?

Correct Answer

B) OREC may impose a fine, suspend or revoke the broker's license, or require completion of additional education, among other sanctions

Under the Oklahoma Real Estate License Code (Title 59 O.S. §§ 858-401 through 858-407), OREC has broad disciplinary authority including the power to impose fines, suspend a license, revoke a license, place a licensee on probation, or require additional education. Commingling client funds is a serious violation, and OREC is not limited to minor sanctions even for a first offense.

Answer Options
A
OREC may only issue a written warning for a first offense; license revocation requires a criminal conviction
B
OREC may impose a fine, suspend or revoke the broker's license, or require completion of additional education, among other sanctions
C
OREC may refer the matter to the Oklahoma Bar Association for disciplinary action but may not directly sanction the broker's license
D
OREC may only suspend the broker's license for a maximum of 90 days for a first commingling violation
