QUESTION 3
Fees collected by the Real estate commission are held:
[A)] by the real estate commission members
[B)] in the commissioners personal checking account
[C)] in the general fund of the state treasury
[D)] in an interest bearing trust account
Answer: C) in the general fund of the state treasury.
Rationale: Fees collected by the Real Estate Commission are statutorily required to be remitted to the state treasury,
becoming part of the general fund rather than being held in a separate commission
account. This ensures proper state financial oversight and control over all collected revenues.
QUESTION 4
At its regularly scheduled first monthly meeting of the calendar year, the commission
shall select from its members by secret ballot:
[A)] a real estate commissioner
[B)] a chief investigator
[C)] a deputy real estate commissioner

Answer: D) both a chairperson and a vice-chairperson.
Rationale: Commissions typically elect officers like a chairperson and vice-chairperson to manage meetings and
operations, a standard governance practice. The selection of specific roles such as a real estate commissioner or chief
investigator would usually be an appointment process, not an internal election by commission members.
