Why C is correct
M.C.L. 500.1247(2) requires a producer to report any criminal prosecution against the producer within 30 days of the initial pretrial hearing date. This is a different trigger from administrative actions, which are reported within 30 days of final disposition under M.C.L. 500.1247(1); prosecutions are reported early because the charge itself bears on fitness to hold the license.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Final disposition is the reporting trigger for administrative actions under M.C.L. 500.1247(1), not for criminal prosecutions, which are reported at the start of the case.
- B) Arrest alone is not the statutory trigger; the 30-day clock runs from the initial pretrial hearing date.
- D) 12 months is the window for reinstituting a lapsed license without an exam under M.C.L. 500.1206(3), not a prosecution-reporting deadline.
Memory hook
Criminal cases report early (first pretrial hearing); administrative actions report late (final disposition) — both within 30 days.
