occurred when I held such a real estate license. I understand that the information to be obtained from the nancial records of my trust fund account(s) is for the
purpose of aiding the Commissioner in his statutory duty to enforce the provisions of the Real Estate Law.
I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for workers’ compensation.
I understand that it is my obligation to notify the Department within 30 days in writing or by ling form RE238 of any conviction, criminal complaint, information
