An Illinois licensee holds only a broker license and wants to sponsor other licensees at their firm. Under the Illinois License Act of 2000, which of the following statements is correct?

Correct Answer

B) The broker may not sponsor other licensees because sponsorship authority requires a managing broker license, not merely a broker license.

Under the Illinois License Act of 2000 (225 ILCS 454), the authority to sponsor other licensees is reserved for those holding a managing broker license. A licensee who holds only a broker license does not have statutory authority to sponsor others, regardless of experience or agreement. Sponsorship authority is tied to the managing broker license classification, not to the broker license.

Answer Options
A
The broker may sponsor other licensees because any active Illinois license confers sponsorship authority by default.
B
The broker may not sponsor other licensees because sponsorship authority requires a managing broker license, not merely a broker license.
C
The broker may sponsor other licensees if the licensees being sponsored have each been licensed for at least two years.
D
The broker may sponsor other licensees in residential transactions but not in commercial transactions.
