    status upon renewal after 6 months of expiration.
  • an increase in the number of times a broker must ensure a sponsored
    agents' assistance and coaching with new types of brokerage activity.
• Contested disciplinary cases.
• A welcome to three new Commissioners, honoring
  three outgoing Commissioners for their service.
