Question 64

A licensee is NOT required to report a DUI misdemeanor to the Virginia Real Estate Board within 30 days.

A licensee is not required to report a DUI misdemeanor conviction to the Virginia Real Estate Board within 30 days, making this option the correct choice.

A) licensee was convicted of a felony

A felony conviction must be reported to the Virginia Real Estate Board within 30 days, as it is considered a serious criminal offense that can impact a licensee's ability to practice real estate. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

B) licensee was convicted of a DUI misdemeanor

This option is correct because a DUI misdemeanor does not fall under the reporting requirements established by the Virginia Real Estate Board, thus the licensee is not obligated to report it within the specified timeframe.

C) licensee was convicted of a petty larceny misdemeanor

A conviction for petty larceny, even though it is a misdemeanor, must be reported to the Virginia Real Estate Board as it is relevant to the licensee's professional conduct. Consequently, this option is incorrect.

D) another jurisdiction has issued a disciplinary action against the licensee

Disciplinary actions from other jurisdictions must be reported to the Virginia Real Estate Board within 30 days, as they can affect the licensee's standing and credibility. Therefore, this option is also incorrect.

Conclusion

The correct answer is B) licensee was convicted of a DUI misdemeanor, as it is the only option that does not require reporting to the Virginia Real Estate Board within 30 days. In contrast, options A, C, and D all involve serious legal or disciplinary matters that must be reported, demonstrating the importance of compliance with the Board's reporting requirements for maintaining professional integrity.
