Under the Illinois Real Estate License Act, how long may a licensed office continue operating after its designated managing broker's license is suspended or revoked, before licensed activity must cease?

Correct Answer

B) The office may continue operating for up to 30 days, provided a written request for authorization is submitted to the Department within that period.

Under 225 ILCS 454/17-15, when a designated managing broker's license is suspended or revoked, the office may continue operating for up to 30 days without a replacement, provided the sponsoring broker submits a written request for authorization to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) within that window. If neither a replacement is named nor a written request is submitted within 30 days, all licensed activity at that office must stop.

Answer Options
A
The office must immediately cease all licensed activity on the same day the designated managing broker's license is suspended or revoked.
B
The office may continue operating for up to 30 days, provided a written request for authorization is submitted to the Department within that period.
C
The office may continue operating indefinitely, as long as any licensed broker affiliated with the office remains active.

The office has 60 days to continue operating automatically, with no written request or replacement required.
