Why B is correct
Under N.Y. Ins. Law §2103(j)(10), a licensee must submit the renewal application at least 60 days before the license expires, with implementing procedures in Reg 5, Part 21.2. Filing late triggers a late fee and risks a gap in authority - an agent whose license has lapsed cannot lawfully transact insurance until it is restored.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 30 days is too short; the statute sets the 60-day advance-filing deadline for renewal applications.
- C) Filing after expiration is too late - the deadline runs before expiry, and late filings incur fees and potential lapse.
- D) Renewal is not automatic; the licensee must apply in advance and satisfy continuing education and fee requirements.
Memory hook
Renew two months out - 60 days keeps the license alive.
