Plain English

Under Geneva Title 6, Chapter 6, Fair Housing § 6-6-7, the city council holds the authority to suspend or revoke a real estate broker's license when that broker has violated the fair housing provisions of the chapter. This disciplinary action is not taken lightly — it requires an affirmative majority vote of the aldermen currently holding office before any suspension or revocation can take effect. The provision establishes a formal, collective decision-making process as a safeguard before a broker's license is affected.
