Why B is correct
Under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-16, Georgia grants nonresident licenses on reciprocity, and the Commissioner verifies home-state standing through the NAIC Producer Database or a certification letter dated within 90 days. Where the home state does not license the activity, the applicant may still qualify by taking the Georgia examination rather than being shut out entirely.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Reciprocity gaps for the specific activity are bridged by the Georgia examination, not by denial.
- C) Transacting the activity in Georgia requires a Georgia nonresident license.
- D) No two-year residency requirement exists in Georgia's nonresident pathway.
