(a) Whenever it appears that the holder of a license or franchise issued by any agency or authority of the state or county is a person found to be after proper hearing in violation of this division, the commission may take such action it deems advisable or desirable, notwithstanding any other action it may take or may have taken under the authority of this division, and may refer to the proper licensing agency or authority the facts and identities of all persons involved in that finding for such action as the agency or authority in its judgment considers appropriate based upon the facts thus disclosed to it.
(b) Nothing in this division shall be deemed to relieve any agency or authority of the state or county of its obligation to take immediate and independent action regarding a matter filed with it that also may be the subject of a complaint filed with the commission.
(c) If a complaint is filed against a person licensed by the state real estate commission and the Director finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe the law has been violated, the Director must promptly transmit a copy of the Director’s findings and the complaint to the real estate commission for such action as the commission considers appropriate. The Director must promptly forward to the real estate commission the final disposition of any complaint previously forwarded to the commission. (1968 L.M.C., Ex.
