Which of the following are the reporting responsibilities of a licensee?

• A. Any temporary address change
• B. A permanent agency mailing address
• C. An arrest for a Class C misdemeanor Involving duties of office
• D. Receipt of Honorable Discharge from military service

Answer: (C)

The situation tests reporting for events that could affect a licensee’s ability to serve. An arrest for a Class C misdemeanor that involves duties of office is reportable because it directly pertains to alleged criminal conduct connected to official duties and could call into question the licensee’s fitness to hold licensure. The licensing agency needs to be aware of such arrests to determine whether disciplinary action or other actions are appropriate. Administrative changes like a temporary address or a permanent agency mailing address are routine updates and do not reflect criminal or fitness concerns that would trigger the reporting rule. Receiving an honorable discharge from military service is a status update but, on its own, does not indicate conduct or fitness issues that require reporting under the same licensee reporting requirements.
