An Ohio producer also holds a license in another state, and that state's insurance regulator suspends the license after a disciplinary proceeding. The producer must notify the Ohio Superintendent of the action within:

Why C is correct

ORC 3905.22 requires a licensee to notify the Superintendent within 30 days after the final disposition of an administrative action taken against the licensee in another jurisdiction. Out-of-state regulatory discipline is a fitness indicator that Ohio evaluates on its own terms, so the producer cannot rely on the other state's process running its course silently; the reporting duty attaches once that process disposes of the matter.

Why the other options are wrong

• A) The duty is keyed to the final disposition of the action within 30 days, not to receipt of the suspension order within 15 days.
• B) The hearing date does not start the reporting clock; ORC 3905.22 measures 30 days from the final disposition, and 21 days is not the statutory period.
• D) The duty does not wait for, or depend on, an appeal; the 30-day period runs from the final disposition of the administrative action.

Memory hook

Disciplined elsewhere? Ohio hears about it within 30 days of the final word.
