HRS §437-27.5

Keeping Your Broker License Active

This section says a real estate broker must keep a bond in effect. If the bond lapses, the license is automatically suspended. You can ask for a hearing within a short time after losing the license, but the law does not explain the hearing process here.

The statute, as written — Requirements to maintain license

A broker shall have and maintain in full force and effect a bond as required under section 437-18. Failure, refusal, or neglect to maintain in full force and effect a bond shall cause the automatic suspension of the license effective as of the date of expiration or cancellation of the bond. The license shall not be reinstated until a bond as required under section 437-18 is received by the board. Failure to effect a reinstatement of a suspended license within sixty days of the suspension shall cause the license and all fees to be forfeited. A licensee may, within fifteen calendar days after receipt of notification of the license forfeiture, request an administrative hearing pursuant to chapter 91 to review the forfeiture.
