MS SB2624

Establishes a pilot program requiring the Mississippi Real Estate Commission to offer administrative hearings conducted by Attorney General staff attorneys for licensing violations, with the program set to expire July 1, 2024

Requires all hearings before the commission or administrative hearing officers to use the "clear and convincing" standard of proof

Appeals from adverse rulings by the commission or administrative hearing officers now automatically act as a supersedeas (stay of the order), rather than being at the court's discretion

Allows the commission to file a motion within 10 days to lift the supersedeas by showing clear and convincing evidence of immediate and irreparable harm if the licensee continues operating

Permits the commission and licensees to enter agreed orders resolving complaints prior to hearings
