Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Feb. 09, 2009
The issue is whether Respondent should deny an application for a real estate sales associate license on the alleged grounds that, in violation of Subsections 475.17(1)(a), 475.181, and 475.25(1)(f), Florida Statutes (2008),1 the application discloses two felony convictions for crimes of moral turpitude, the initial application omitted a misdemeanor conviction for driving under the influence (DUI), and the applicant’s explanation in mitigation of the incidents is allegedly unpersuasive.Respondent should grant probationary salesperson license to the applicant with a felony conviction, because the applicant was rehabilitated and corrected the omission of a DUI offense in his initial application.
