Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
ORC 3905.22 imposes a two-step reporting duty: the licensee must notify the superintendent within 30 days after the initial appearance in the criminal prosecution, and then file a certified copy of the final disposition within 30 days after the disposition. The duty reaches any criminal prosecution other than a misdemeanor traffic offense, so even non-felony charges start the clock at the first court appearance.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) An initial notice is required within 30 days of the initial appearance; waiting for the final disposition alone violates the statute.
- C) The 21-day period is the written-response deadline for department inquiries under ORC 3905.14(B)(21), and a disposition filing is still required afterward.
- D) Non-traffic misdemeanor prosecutions are reportable too; the duty is not limited to felonies.
