Why D is correct
Under A.R.S. 20-286, temporary licenses are reserved for narrow circumstances: the death or disability of the producer, the producer's active military service, or when the public interest warrants. The insurer cannot simply request one at will, and a business-name change has nothing to do with the provision.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Wrong because a change of assumed business name is handled under A.R.S. 20-297 and is not a ground for a temporary license under A.R.S. 20-286.
- B) Wrong because examination failures lead to the attempt limits of A.R.S. 20-284(H); they never trigger a no-exam temporary license.
- C) Wrong because issuance is the Director's call limited to the statutory grounds of death, disability, military service, or the public interest — not an insurer's sole discretion.
Memory hook
Death, disability, duty, or public good — the temp triggers.
