Why C is correct
T.C.A. § 56-6-109 requires a person moving to Tennessee to apply within 90 days of establishing residence in order to take advantage of the examination exemption based on being licensed for the same lines in the prior state. Missing the 90-day window means the applicant must satisfy the ordinary examination requirements before receiving the Tennessee license.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 30 days understates the statutory window; the T.C.A. § 56-6-109 residency-move exemption allows a 90-day application period.
- B) 60 days is not the statutory measure; the window is 90 days from establishing Tennessee residence.
- D) 180 days is the maximum duration of a temporary producer license under T.C.A. § 56-6-111, not the examination-exemption application window.
