What must a dealer return to the Dealer Board after a salesperson leaves or is discharged?

When a salesperson leaves or is discharged from a dealership, the dealer is required to return the salesperson's license to the Dealer Board. This procedure is necessary to ensure that all licenses issued remain current and valid, and to prevent any potential misuse of the license by a former employee. It also helps the Dealer Board maintain accurate records of who is authorized to perform sales activities on behalf of dealers.

Returning the license is a matter of regulatory compliance; it helps to keep the industry accountable and maintains the integrity of the licensing process. Any unauthorized use of a license can lead to legal issues, compliance violations, and damage to the dealer’s reputation. Therefore, the responsibility lies with the dealer to manage these licenses appropriately upon an employee's departure.

Other options, such as a letter of recommendation, all sales documents from that salesperson, or a copy of the sales report, are not required to be submitted to the Dealer Board and do not pertain to the formal regulatory process related to licensing.
