If a licensee is convicted of a crime, how long do they have to report the conviction to the Maine Real Estate Commission?

  1. 5 days

  2. 24 hours

  3. 10 days

  4. 7 days

The correct answer is: 10 days

A licensee in Maine must report a conviction of a crime to the Maine Real Estate Commission within 10 days of the conviction. This requirement is in place to ensure that the commission is aware of any legal issues that might affect the licensee's ability to practice real estate responsibly and ethically. Timely reporting allows the commission to assess the situation and take appropriate action if necessary, maintaining the integrity of the real estate profession. The specified period provides a clear guideline for licensees to follow, helping to facilitate communication between the commission and licensed professionals regarding their legal standing. The other timeframes provided are not accurate according to the established regulations for reporting criminal convictions in this context.
