What must a registered firm do if a licensee's employment is terminated?

When a licensee's employment is terminated, the registered firm is required to notify the state fire marshal within a specified timeframe, which is typically 14 days. This requirement is in place to ensure that the state maintains accurate and up-to-date records regarding individuals who are authorized to operate under a license. It helps prevent unauthorized activities and maintains the integrity of the licensing system.

The requirement to inform the state fire marshal is designed to facilitate regulatory oversight and ensure that all practices within the fire safety industry are compliant with state laws. It also helps to manage the licensing process, making sure that any individual no longer associated with the firm cannot legally engage in activities that require licensure until they obtain a new license under another employer if necessary.

Notifying the licensee's next employer is not a regulated requirement and shifts the onus away from the firm's responsibilities. Additionally, it is not solely the licensee's responsibility to communicate these changes, as the firm plays a crucial role in the licensing management process. Submitting a cancellation form to the state government, while possibly necessary in some contexts, does not specifically address the requirement related to notification of the state fire marshal following a termination, thereby making it less appropriate in this context.
