Supplemental NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS OF THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Real Estate Commission proposes revisions to the consumer pamphlet and waiver of right to be represented form. The changes will clarify the professional relationships addressed in the pamphlet and make reference to the most recent editions of these forms.
The Real Estate Commission proposes to adopt regulation changes in Title 12, Chapter 64 of the Alaska Administrative Code, dealing with consumer pamphlet and waiver of right to be represented, including the following:
- 12 AAC 64.118, Consumer pamphlet, is proposed to be changed to alter the consumer pamphlet form that the commission adopts by reference.
- 12 AAC 64.119, Waiver of right to be represented, is proposed to be changed to alter the form for waiver of right to be represented, by referencing the most recent edition of that form.
This is a SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE adding to the NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES that was issued on August 5, 2014 concerning these proposed regulation revisions contained in the Department of Law file number JU2014200653. This SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE is being issued because the Real Estate Commission, during its December 30, 2014 teleconference meeting, tabled its proposed changes dealing with consumer pamphlet and waiver of right to be represented under its initial NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES, made amendments, and is opening a written comment period regarding the amended proposed regulation changes. If you previously submitted written comments or provided oral testimony under the August 5, 2014 Notice of proposed Changes, you need not resubmit those comments under this notice as those comments are part of the record and will be considered by the Real Estate Commission.
You may comment on the proposed regulation changes, including the potential costs to private persons of complying with the proposed changes, by submitting written comments to Jun Maiquis, Regulations Specialist, Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing, P.O. Box 110806 Juneau, AK 99811-0806. Additionally, the Real Estate Commission will accept comments by facsimile at (907) 465-2974 and by electronic mail at jun.maiquis@alaska.gov. The written comments must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on February 13, 2015.
If you are a person with a disability who needs a special accommodation in order to participate in this process, please contact Jun Maiquis at (907) 465-2537 no later than February 6, 2015 to ensure that any necessary accommodations can be provided.
