Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
ORC 3905.14(E)(9) provides that when a license is surrendered for cause, the surrender lasts at least 5 years and the person may not be licensed during that period. A producer negotiating a disciplinary resolution must understand that surrender for cause is effectively a lengthy licensure ban, not a neutral exit from the business.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) The statutory minimum is 5 years, not 2, under ORC 3905.14(E)(9).
- C) 12 months is far shorter than the bar ORC 3905.14(E)(9) imposes for a for-cause surrender.
- D) 6 months understates the mandatory minimum; the statute says at least 5 years.
Memory hook
Surrender for cause equals 5 years in the desert.
