Why C is correct
A Tennessee resident producer license is issued on the basis of Tennessee residency, and taking or holding that residency election is voided if the licensee ceases to be a Tennessee resident or holds or applies for a resident license in another state. TDCI's licensing requirements, built on the residency standard of T.C.A. § 56-6-106, treat the license as void rather than converting or suspending it, so the producer would need to pursue nonresident licensure under T.C.A. § 56-6-108 instead.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) There is no automatic conversion at renewal; a voided resident license does not morph into a nonresident license on its own.
- B) Continuing to pay renewal amounts cannot cure the residency defect — the license is void once the licensee ceases to be a Tennessee resident.
- D) The remedy is not a 90-day suspension with a hearing; the residency election simply becomes void under the Tennessee licensing requirements.
Memory hook
Move out, void out: a Tennessee resident license dies when your Tennessee residency does.
