Business & LicensingQuestion 1458 of 1632

An RME may qualify only one active license at a time unless what condition is met regarding ownership?

a.The qualifier owns at least 10 percent of each firm's equity
b.There is common ownership of at least 20 percent of each firm
c.The qualifier owns a majority of the voting stock of one firm
d.The firms share a common qualifier and the same classification

Explanation

B&P §7068.1(a) permits one person to qualify more than one active licensee only where there is common ownership of at least 20 percent of the equity of each firm, or the firms stand in a parent, subsidiary, or joint-venture relationship; §7068.1(b) then caps the total at three firms in any one-year period. (a) is the 10 percent figure from §7071.9, which decides whether a qualifier's bond is required, not how many firms may be qualified. (c) sets a majority test the statute does not use. (d) restates the problem — a shared qualifier and a shared class are what the rule restricts, not what excuses it.

Law Reference: B&P Code §7068.1(a)
