A Home Improvement Salesperson registration expires on what date each year?
Correct Answer
C) December 31st
B&P Code Section 7153.2 specifies that HIS registrations expire on December 31st of each year.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
B&P Code Section 7153.2 establishes a uniform expiration date of December 31st for all Home Improvement Salesperson (HIS) registrations. This calendar-year expiration makes administration straightforward — all registrations renew on the same date each year regardless of when they were originally issued.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: March 31st
March 31st is not the statutory expiration date for HIS registrations. No provision in B&P Code Chapter 9 ties HIS registration expiration to March 31st.
Option B: The anniversary of initial registration
HIS registrations do not expire on the anniversary of initial registration. Unlike some professional licenses that use anniversary-based renewals, the CSLB standardizes all HIS registrations to expire on December 31st, simplifying the renewal process.
Option D: June 30th
June 30th is not the expiration date for HIS registrations. This date may be associated with fiscal year ends but has no bearing on HIS registration renewal under B&P Code Section 7153.2.
Memory Technique
Think: 'HIS year ends when the year ends.' Home Improvement Salesperson registrations expire December 31st — the last day of the year. A simple way to remember: the year closes out on December 31st, and so does the HIS registration.
