Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
7 business days
7 business days is not the standard set by Utah law and would be an unreasonably short window that could deprive a licensee of adequate time to seek legal advice before making the notification.
10 business days
30 business days
30 calendar or business days is the timeframe associated with other licensing notifications in various states, but Utah specifically requires the shorter 10-business-day period for felony convictions, making 30 days non-compliant with state law.
60 business days
60 business days would represent nearly three months of potential public exposure to a licensee with a felony conviction, which directly contradicts the consumer-protection purpose of the reporting requirement.
Why is this correct?
Under Utah Administrative Code R162-2f-401a, a licensee is required to notify the Utah Division of Real Estate within 10 business days of a felony conviction, guilty plea, or plea in abeyance. This specific 10-business-day standard is codified to create a uniform, enforceable deadline that is neither so short as to be impossible nor so long as to allow continued public harm.
