In this episode you will learn: - FREC is composed of 7 members: 4 brokers (licensed 5+ years), 1 licensee (licensed 2+ years), and 2 unlicensed lay members. - Members are appointed by the Governor for four-year terms, and at least one member must be age 60 or older. - FREC's powers are quasi-legislative (rulemaking) and quasi-judicial (discipline), but they cannot impose criminal penalties like jail time. - The DBPR is responsible for administrative functions and investigating complaints against licensees. - A common exam trap is confusing the roles; the DBPR investigates, while FREC adjudicates and disciplines based on those investigations.
