If an applicant for a real estate license has a DUI, the Indiana Real Estate Commission may:

The Indiana Real Estate Commission has the authority to assess an applicant's suitability for a real estate license based on their character and fitness for the profession. A DUI, which can indicate issues with responsibility and adherence to laws, may raise concerns about the applicant's qualifications.

If the Commission determines that a DUI reflects poor moral character or lawfulness, they may choose to refuse to issue a license as a protective measure for the public and maintain the integrity of the profession. This is particularly relevant in real estate, where trust and responsibility are paramount.

The other options, while they may suggest potential avenues for addressing concerns surrounding an applicant's behavior, do not reflect the Commission’s primary right to deny the issuance of a license based on a significant legal issue such as a DUI. Hence, the authority to refuse the license aligns directly with the Commission's responsibility to ensure that all licensed practitioners meet the necessary ethical standards.
