Why D is correct
Under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-18 and the Georgia licensing handbook, a new licensee's first term runs 18 to 29 months so that expiration lands on the last day of the birth month; renewals after that point run the standard two years. New licensees should check their actual expiration date rather than assuming a full two-year term from the issue date.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Initial terms are prorated to reach the birth month, so they are usually shorter than two years.
- B) Six months is the temporary-license figure, not the term for a new regular license.
- C) Fifteen months is the maximum total duration of a temporary license, not an initial producer term.
Memory hook
First term fits the birthday: 18 to 29 months.
