Which description best defines licensee in this regulatory framework?

• A. A person who installs alarms
• B. A service provider
• C. A business entity licensed under this chapter
• D. The property owner

Answer: (C)

In this regulatory framework, a licensee is the party that holds the license issued under the chapter and is authorized to operate the alarm business. The best description is a business entity licensed under this chapter because the license is typically issued to the entity that will own and run the operations (and be responsible for compliance and supervision).

A person who installs alarms describes a technician or installer, not necessarily the licensed holder. A service provider is a broad term that doesn’t specify licensed status. The property owner may own the system but is not automatically the licensed operator under the chapter.
