An Arizona producer is called to active military service. Under A.R.S. 20-289.01, how is the producer's license treated during the service period?

Why B is correct

Under A.R.S. 20-289.01, a producer's license is placed on inactive status during the producer's military service. The license is neither revoked nor forced through ordinary renewal mechanics while the producer serves; inactive status preserves it for the duration of the service period.

Why the other options are wrong

• A) Wrong because military service does not revoke the license; A.R.S. 20-289.01 places it on inactive status instead.
• C) Wrong because the mechanism is inactive status under A.R.S. 20-289.01, not the temporary license of A.R.S. 20-286.
• D) Wrong because the point of inactive status is to relieve the producer of ordinary license obligations during service, not to continue them.

Memory hook

Called to serve? License stands down to inactive, not expired.

Why B is correct

A.R.S. 20-289.01 places a producer's license on inactive status during the producer's military service, so the license does not expire while the producer is away on duty.

Why the other options are wrong

• A) Military service does not trigger revocation; the statute provides inactive status instead.
• C) The license does not remain fully active; it is placed on inactive status under A.R.S. 20-289.01.
• D) Surrender is not required; the license is preserved in inactive status.

Memory hook

Called to serve? License goes inactive, not invalid — 20-289.01.
