    She must notify her home state's Department of Insurance within 15 days of the initial notice of the hearing.

Answer

She must report the final disposition of the matter to her home state's Department of Insurance within 30 days.
The correct answer accurately reflects the standard state insurance regulation that requires producers to report any administrative action taken against them in another jurisdiction within 30 days of the final disposition of the matter.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the scenario to identify the regulatory event that occurred.
An administrative action was finalized against a licensed producer in another jurisdiction.
Identifying the event dictates which statutory rule applies.
2
Recall the standard statutory reporting requirement for administrative actions.
Regulations mandate that producers report administrative actions from other jurisdictions within 30 days of the final disposition.
This is a fundamental rule of license maintenance to ensure the home state is aware of potential character or compliance issues.
3
Evaluate the options based on the 30-day rule and the triggering event.
Only the option stating a 30-day reporting requirement from the final disposition matches the standard regulation.
Eliminates distractors that suggest waiting until renewal, ignoring fines, or reporting within an incorrect timeframe.
