Sec. 176.16. Suspensions and denials of course approval

Within 45 days after the receipt of the application for approval of an offering, the department shall inform the entity as to whether the offering has been approved, denied, or whether additional information is needed to determine the acceptability of the offering. The department may deny, suspend, or revoke the approval of a real estate course or a real estate instructor, if it is determined that they are not in compliance with the law and rules, or if the offering does not adequately reflect and present current real estate knowledge as a basis for a level of real estate practice. If disciplinary action is taken, a written order of suspension, revocation or denial of approval will be issued. Anyone who objects to such denial, suspension or revocation shall have the opportunity to be heard by the Secretary of State or his designee.
