What is the maximum number of days allowed for a license to notify the bureau that the qualified manager has ceased to be actively in charge of the business?

• A. 15 days
• B. 7 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 45 days

Answer: (A)

When a qualified manager ceases to be actively in charge of the alarm company, the licensee must notify the bureau within a set window to keep the license in good standing. The maximum allowed is fifteen days. This deadline ensures there is always an actively supervising qualified manager listed with and approved by the bureau, so there’s no prolonged period without proper oversight. Being “actively in charge” means the manager is directly supervising day-to-day operations and compliance, not just someone who was once in that role. Shorter timeframes like seven days would be overly tight for handling the change, while longer windows such as thirty or forty-five days could create a gap in oversight, which is why fifteen days is the specific limit.
