A producer must notify the Commissioner within how many days of a felony conviction?

• A. 60 days
• B. 90 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 120 days

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is the requirement for licensees to report felony convictions to the regulator promptly. In Louisiana, anyone holding a producer license who is convicted of a felony must notify the Commissioner within 30 days of the conviction. This short window ensures the regulator becomes aware of serious criminal history quickly so they can evaluate whether the licensee still meets the standards of honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity needed to serve the public.

The 30-day timeframe reflects the emphasis on timely disclosure for public protection and professional accountability. If someone doesn’t report within that period, the license can be subject to disciplinary action, including potential suspension or revocation, because failing to disclose a felony undermines the licensing process and the regulator’s ability to assess fitness to practice.
