Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
ORC 3905.06(D) allows a late renewal to be submitted before the first day of the second month after the renewal date, and during that one-month late period the license remains active. OAC 3901-5-09(J)(1)(d) imposes the $50 late fee for renewing in that window. The producer who acts within the month keeps producing without a gap — at a cost of $50.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Suspension for nonrenewal begins on the first day of the second month, not during the late period; $100 is the reinstatement fee for that later stage.
- C) Automatic cancellation occurs only after the one-year suspension-for-nonrenewal period ends, not on the renewal date.
- D) Renewing late triggers the $50 late fee; the renewal is not free of consequence.
Memory hook
One month late costs $50 — the license still breathes.
