Who appoints NH Real Estate Commission members?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
The Governor
The Senators
New Hampshire Senators do not have the authority to appoint Real Estate Commission members; while the state Senate may confirm certain appointments in some contexts, the appointing power for this commission rests with the Governor under RSA 331-A:2.
The Representatives
State Representatives have no role in appointing Real Estate Commission members; the New Hampshire House of Representatives exercises legislative, not executive appointment, functions.
National Commission
There is no 'National Commission' with authority to appoint members of a state real estate regulatory body; real estate licensing is entirely a state function under the Tenth Amendment, and no federal or national entity has jurisdiction over state commission appointments.
Why is this correct?
New Hampshire RSA 331-A:2 explicitly states that the members of the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission are appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Executive Council. This is consistent with New Hampshire's broader governance structure, where the Governor — as the chief executive — holds appointment authority over most state regulatory boards and commissions. The Governor's role ensures democratic accountability for the commission's regulatory activities.
