  1. 1During a Nevada Real Estate Division investigation, a salesperson intentionally withholds transaction records requested by the investigator. Which consequence is authorized?

    1. A. The Commission may discipline the salesperson for impeding the investigation

    4. D. The matter must first be transferred to a district court

    Answer: A
