If the qualified manager ceases to be in active charge of the business, the licensee shall be automatically suspended within 30 days unless the licensee notifies the bureau within how many days of the cessation?

• A. 30 days
• B. 60 days
• C. 15 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (A)

The key rule here is that there must be an active qualified manager in charge of the alarm business. When that manager ceases to be in active charge, the license automatically suspends unless the bureau is notified within 30 days of the cessation. This 30-day window ensures a timely transition and keeps the license tied to someone who is personally responsible for ongoing compliance and supervision. If notification isn’t given within those 30 days, suspension takes effect to reflect the loss of active managerial oversight. So the correct timeframe is 30 days; other timeframes would not align with the requirement for prompt notification after the manager ceases to be in charge.
