Definition: A Florida Real Estate Commission member representing the public rather than the licensed profession. Two of FREC's seven members must never have been real estate brokers or sales associates.
Example
A public member helps consider a proposed rule alongside the commission's professional members.
Keep the distinction clear
A consumer member is also called a lay member. Being an inactive former broker would not satisfy this statutory category.
