Marcus is a Michigan licensed real estate salesperson whose license expired 45 days ago. He has completed all required continuing education. Under Michigan law, what is his most appropriate course of action to resume practicing real estate?

Correct Answer

A) He must apply for license reinstatement and pay a late renewal penalty fee to LARA-BPL

Under the Michigan Occupational Code (MCL 339.411), a licensee whose license has expired may apply for reinstatement within a specified period by paying a late renewal penalty in addition to the standard renewal fee. Since Marcus's license expired only 45 days ago and he has completed his CE requirements, he qualifies for reinstatement through LARA-BPL by submitting the renewal application with the applicable penalty fee. He does not need to retake the exam if the license has not been expired for an extended period.

Answer Options
A
He must apply for license reinstatement and pay a late renewal penalty fee to LARA-BPL
B
He must retake and pass the Michigan state licensing examination before reapplying
C
He must reapply as a new applicant and complete all pre-licensure education requirements
D
He may continue practicing because Michigan provides a 60-day grace period after license expiration
