A broker's sponsorship with Firm A has been properly terminated. The broker has reached an agreement to join Firm B but has not yet submitted the new sponsorship paperwork to IDFPR. Under the Illinois License Act of 2000, which of the following best describes the broker's current authority?

Correct Answer

D) The broker may not practice under Firm B until the new sponsorship is certified by Firm B to IDFPR and registered with the Department.

Under the Illinois License Act of 2000, a broker's authority to practice through a sponsoring broker depends on the sponsorship being certified to IDFPR by the sponsoring broker and registered with the Department. Termination of a prior sponsorship does not automatically authorize practice under a new firm. Until the new sponsorship is properly registered, the broker lacks authority to practice under Firm B.

Answer Options
A
The broker may practice under Firm B immediately, because the terminated sponsorship with Firm A automatically transfers to the new firm upon agreement.
B
The broker may practice under Firm B after providing written notice of the change to the former sponsoring broker.
C
The broker may practice under Firm B after a 10-day waiting period following termination of the prior sponsorship.
D
The broker may not practice under Firm B until the new sponsorship is certified by Firm B to IDFPR and registered with the Department.
