How long are terms for Hawaii Real Estate Commission members?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Two Years
Two-year terms would be too short to allow commissioners to develop sufficient regulatory expertise and would create excessive turnover, disrupting ongoing disciplinary proceedings and policy development; HRS §467-3 does not authorize two-year terms.
Three Years
Three-year terms are not prescribed by Hawaii's real estate licensing statute; while some states use three-year terms for similar bodies, Hawaii specifically mandates four-year terms under HRS §467-3.
Four Years
Five Years
Five-year terms would extend commissioner service beyond a full gubernatorial term and are not authorized under HRS §467-3; such lengthy terms could reduce accountability and are inconsistent with Hawaii's statutory framework for the Commission.
Why is this correct?
Under Hawaii Revised Statutes §467-3, members of the Hawaii Real Estate Commission serve four-year terms, appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. The Commission consists of both licensed real estate practitioners and public members, all serving these four-year staggered terms to ensure regulatory continuity. Four years is the correct and only statutory answer recognized by the Hawaii Real Estate Commission's enabling legislation.
