A licensee must respond to the Commissioner's information request in what manner?

• A. Written response promptly or in a designated form
• B. Verbal response within 2 days
• C. The request is optional to respond
• D. The response must be approved by the supervisor

Answer: (A)

When the Commissioner asks for information, the licensee must reply in a written form and do so promptly, using any designated form provided. This creates an official, verifiable record of what was reported and when, which is essential for regulatory oversight. Verbal explanations don’t provide that durable record, so they aren’t acceptable. The response is mandatory and should be made without requiring supervisor approval to proceed, within the specified promptness.
