Enforcement report: two time-consuming complaints, tax-filing and restricted-title issues increasing

Lead investigator Taylor Shahon presented the April 2026 Enforcement Report and noted staff had updated the report format to break violations down by WAC citation. He told the Board the quarter included two time-consuming complaints, that failure to file tax returns was a primary complaint issue, and that use of the restricted title is trending upward.

Shahon said the updated reporting format reflected staff's efforts to improve clarity and assist the Board in prioritizing investigation resources. The Board discussed enforcement workload and the potential need for continued staff support to address time-consuming matters.

No formal enforcement decisions (such as Statements of Charges or consent agreements) were recorded during the meeting; the report served to inform Board oversight of ongoing enforcement caseloads.
