Why D is correct
Under Fla. Stat. 626.175(1), a temporary license may be issued for up to 6 months and is not renewable. It is available only when the agent's own agent dies, becomes disabled, or enters military service, and it goes to that agent's employee, family member, partner, or estate representative. The temporary licensee may not represent any insurer the original agent did not represent.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) A temporary license under Fla. Stat. 626.175(1) is tied to the supervising agent's death, disability, or military service, not to passing the examination, and it runs up to 6 months rather than 30 days.
- B) Two years confuses the temporary license with the 24-month appointment and continuing education cycles; the temporary license is far shorter and cannot be renewed.
- C) The statute makes the temporary license nonrenewable; issuing a 6-month term with a permitted renewal is not allowed.
Memory hook
Temporary = 6 months, one shot, no renewal.
