Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
Tennessee requires producers to report administrative actions to the Commissioner within 30 days of the final disposition and to report criminal prosecutions within 30 days of the initial pretrial hearing, per the reporting duties summarized in Tennessee's licensing rules under T.C.A. § 56-6-119. Waiting for a final conviction or judgment is itself a compliance failure that can add disciplinary exposure.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Five days is not Tennessee's reporting window for administrative or criminal actions.
- B) Ninety days overstates the deadline; the reporting duty runs at 30 days from the specified events.
- C) The duty attaches at the initial pretrial hearing in a criminal case and at the final disposition of an administrative action — not only after conviction or judgment.
Memory hook
Thirty days to tell the Commissioner — hearing for criminal, end for admin.
