A qualifying individual (RME/RMO) disassociates from a licensed entity on March 1. Under Bus. & Prof. Code §7068.2, by when must the licensee notify the CSLB Registrar?
a.Within 10 days of the disassociation
b.Within 30 days of the disassociation, by certified mail only
c.In writing, within 90 days of the disassociation; failure results in license suspension. The licensee then generally has 90 days from disassociation to replace the qualifier or the license is automatically suspended (with limited extensions)
d.Only at the next license renewal
Explanation
Bus. & Prof. Code §7068.2 requires the licensee to notify the CSLB Registrar in writing within 90 days of a qualifier's disassociation. The licensee then has 90 days from the date of disassociation to replace the qualifier; otherwise the license is automatically suspended or revoked (the Registrar may grant a limited extension of up to one additional year for good cause). If the licensee fails to notify within 90 days, the suspension is retroactive to the disassociation date. The 10/30-day and 'next renewal' options are common distractors that confuse this rule with the §7083 address-change rule.
