What is an Indiana licensee entitled to before being disciplined by the commission?

In Indiana, a licensee facing disciplinary action is entitled to a hearing before the commission. This right to a hearing is a fundamental aspect of due process, ensuring that the licensee has an opportunity to defend themselves against any allegations. During this hearing, the licensee can present evidence, call witnesses, and make their case as to why they should not be disciplined.

The requirement for a hearing helps to maintain fairness and transparency in the disciplinary process. It allows the commission to carefully consider both sides of the situation before making a decision, ensuring that any potential action taken is justified and based on thorough evaluation of the evidence presented. This procedural safeguard is essential in protecting the rights of the licensees while upholding the integrity of the real estate profession in Indiana.
