2963. Effect of Issuance of Order.
An order of debarment is not a form of discipline that substitutes for another type of discipline under the Real Estate
Law. Rather, the order of debarment is an additional level of consumer protection. Debarment is imposed against a
licensee, disciplined licensee, or unlicensed person where the Bureau has identified a higher risk to the public and to
the real estate industry, necessitating the separation of the debarred individual from all practice and practitioners of real
estate, as described in (a) through (e), below.
Upon adoption of an order of debarment, any person who is the subject of the order is, for the period of time stated in
the order, prohibited from:
(a) Engaging in any business activity involving real estate that is subject to regulation under Division 4 (Sections 10000
through 11288) of the Business & Professions Code;
(b) Participating in any activity for which a real estate salesperson or a real estate broker license is required;
(c) Engaging in any real estate-related business activity on the premises where a real estate salesperson or real estate
broker is conducting business which requires a real estate license;
(d) Participating in any real estate-related business activity of a finance lender, residential mortgage lender, bank, credit
union, escrow company, title company, or underwritten title company; and
(e) Holding any position of employment, management, control, or ownership, as a real estate broker, a real estate
salesperson, or an unlicensed person, in any business involving any of the activities mentioned in subparagraphs (a)
through (d) above.
