Final answer:
The DBPR does not have the power to suspend a real estate license; this authority is held by the Florida Real Estate Commission.
Step-by-step explanation:
The power NOT granted to the Department of Business and Professional Regulations (DBPR) under Florida Statute 455 is to suspend a real estate license. While the DBPR does have the authority to issue licenses and permits, conduct inspections and audits, and investigate complaints and violations, the power to suspend a real estate license is vested in the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). The FREC operates under the auspices of the DBPR but retains specific powers regarding the licensure and regulation of the real estate profession.
