Why B is correct
ORC 3905.22 requires a licensee to give the Superintendent notice of a criminal prosecution, other than a misdemeanor traffic offense, within 30 days after the initial appearance, and to follow up with a certified copy of the final disposition within 30 days after the disposition. This reporting duty lets the Ohio Department of Insurance track licensee criminal conduct that bears on fitness to hold a license.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The statutory trigger is 30 days after the initial appearance, not 10 days.
- C) The initial notice runs from the initial appearance within 30 days; waiting until the final disposition to give the first notice misses the duty, and the 5-day figure is not the statutory period.
- D) The notice clock is keyed to the initial appearance, not to a 90-day window after disposition.
