Which statement accurately reflects the notification requirements within 10 days for a licensee?

• A. 1 is true, 2 is false
• B. 1 is false, 2 is true
• C. both are true
• D. both are false, responsibility of CO, not licensee

Answer: (C)

Timely reporting to the licensing authority is required to keep records current and to protect public safety. When a licensee must notify within 10 days, it usually covers two kinds of events: changes to information about the licensee (like a new address, name, or business contact) and events that could affect the licensee’s ability to practice (such as disciplinary actions, criminal charges, or actions by another licensing body).

Both statements being true means the licensee has an obligation to report both kinds of changes within the 10-day window. Keeping contact details up to date ensures communications reach the licensee, while reporting actions that could impact licensure allows the agency to reassess eligibility and maintain professional standards. The responsibility rests with the licensee, not the CO, to make these notifications, though the CO may guide or facilitate the process.
