Question

If an active licensee fails to renew her third two-year license before the expiration date on the license, the license will

a) revert automatically to involuntary inactive status at the end of the license period
b) be suspended automatically
c) be canceled, and the licensee will have to retake both the course and the licensing exams
d) be canceled, and the licensee will have to retake the licensing exam only

Answer 1

If an active licensee fails to renew their license before expiration, it typically reverts to involuntary inactive status, not immediate suspension or cancellation. Option a) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an active licensee fails to renew her third two-year license before the expiration date on the license, the correct action that will be taken with her license is that it will revert automatically to involuntary inactive status at the end of the license period. This means the license does not get suspended automatically, nor is it canceled requiring the licensee to retake the course or the licensing exams.

However, specific procedures and consequences can vary depending on the state and the licensing authority's regulations. Therefore, licensees should always check with their specific licensing board for the most accurate information.
