Within how many days must a NY PI notify the Department of State about a conviction?

5 days
10 days
15 days
20 days

The correct answer is: 10 days

New York private investigators are required to notify the Department of State within 10 days of a criminal conviction. This is stated in the New York State General Business Law Section 70. The other options are incorrect because they either do not fall within the specified timeframe or exceed it. Option A, 5 days, is too short of a notification period. Option C, 15 days, is longer than the required 10 days. Option D, 20 days, is also longer than the required notification period and exceeds the maximum limit of 15 days. Choosing any of these options would not be in compliance with the law. Therefore, option B, 10 days, is the correct and only valid choice.
