SB 2423 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Real estate licenses; revise regulations, including written notification before suspension.

SB 2423 requires Mississippi real estate licensees to receive at least five business days' written notice before their license is amended, suspended, revoked, or not renewed. It changes the standard of proof needed at administrative hearings from "more likely than not" to "clear and convincing evidence" and mandates that complaints be resolved within 120 days of investigation start or within one year for final decisions. The bill directly affects real estate brokers and salespeople (licensees) and their responsible brokers by increasing procedural protections during licensing actions. Key mechanisms include strict timelines for complaint resolution, mandatory written notice, and a higher evidentiary standard for hearings. These changes aim to provide licensees with greater due process in licensing disputes.
