The proposed bill amends the Nebraska Real Estate License Act by eliminating certain notice requirements for cease and desist orders and introducing the position of a deputy director within the State Real Estate Commission. Specifically, it allows the director to issue a cease and desist order against individuals who violate licensing requirements without the need for prior notice, as long as the violator can request a hearing before the commission within ten days of the order's issuance. Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding the commission's authority to impose fines and conduct proceedings against violators.
Furthermore, the bill establishes the role of a deputy director who will assist the director in managing the commission's records and operations. It also clarifies that the commission will employ both a director and a deputy director, with the latter serving as a custodian of the commission's records. The bill repeals previous sections of the law that contained the now-obsolete notice requirements for cease and desist orders, streamlining the enforcement process for the commission.
