Okla. Stat. tit. 25, §§ 1451–1453, 1501–1508 § 1505.1
Certification of Attorney General's Determination of Housing Discrimination
Operative Text
If the Attorney General upon final determination finds that an act of housing discrimination pursuant to Section 1452 of this title has been committed by a person holding a real estate license pursuant to state law, the Attorney General will certify such determination to the licensing agency. Unless such determination of discriminatory practice is reversed in the course of judicial review, a final determination is binding on the licensing agency. Such agency shall take appropriate administrative action, including suspension or revocation of the license of the respondent.
Under 25 O.S. § 1505.1, when Oklahoma's Attorney General issues a final determination that a licensed real estate professional committed housing discrimination under Section 1452, that finding is formally certified to the relevant licensing agency. The licensing agency is then bound by that determination—unless a court reverses it on judicial review—and must take appropriate administrative action, which can include suspending or revoking the professional's real estate license. This provision creates a direct link between a housing discrimination finding and professional licensing consequences.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Real estate professionals and property managers who hold state-issued licenses should be aware that under 25 O.S. § 1505.1, a final Attorney General determination of housing discrimination is not merely a civil matter—it carries direct professional licensing consequences. A compliant operator generally ensures that all rental and sales practices align with the anti-discrimination standards of Section 1452, since a certified finding of violation can trigger suspension or revocation of their license by the licensing agency. Maintaining documented, consistent, and non-discriminatory policies across all housing transactions is a hallmark of responsible license-holding practice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 25 O.S. § 1505.1, tenants or applicants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination by a licensed real estate professional may have recourse beyond a standard civil complaint—the Attorney General's office can make a formal determination that, if finalized, is certified directly to the professional's licensing agency. That agency is then obligated to consider administrative action, up to and including license suspension or revocation, unless a court overturns the finding. Individuals who believe they have experienced such discrimination may wish to contact the Oklahoma Attorney General's office, a local fair housing organization, or a tenant-rights group to understand the complaint process available under this provision.
