Why C is correct
Pennsylvania requires licensees to report administrative actions and criminal charges and convictions, and name or address changes, within 30 days (40 P.S. § 310.11(19); 40 P.S. § 310.78). The reporting duty is self-executing: the licensee does not wait for a renewal or an inquiry. Missing the 30-day window is itself a compliance failure the department can treat as grounds for discipline.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 10 days is the claims-acknowledgment rhythm of the unfair claims rules, not the licensing reporting window under 40 P.S. § 310.11(19).
- B) 45 days belongs to other contexts such as the same-insurer replacement free-look tier; the reporting deadline is 30 days.
- D) 60 days matches no Pennsylvania licensing reporting duty; the statute sets 30 days.
Memory hook
Address, charges, convictions — all inside 30 days, unprompted.
