Micah Cole is reviewing an Illinois issue in Decatur. The person learns that the sponsoring brokerage license has expired and asks what happens to the affiliated sponsored licensees' authority to practice. Which statement best applies?

Correct Answer

B
Only residential leasing agents are affected; brokers stay active, according to this option.
C
If the sponsoring brokerage license becomes inactive or expired, the sponsored licensees cannot continue practicing through that sponsor.
D
