If the Superintendent decides to suspend or revoke a license, the licensee must wait ____ before applying for a license again.

• A. 6 months
• B. 2 years
• C. 5 years
• D. 1 year

Answer: (D)

When a license is suspended or revoked by the Superintendent, there is a mandatory cooling-off period before you can apply again. The required wait time is one year. This interval serves to protect the public by giving the licensee time to address the issues that led to the disciplinary action and to show that they meet current licensing standards before reapplying. After that year, the applicant must again satisfy all licensing requirements, which may include updated coursework, exams, disclosures, and fees. Shorter periods wouldn’t provide enough deterrence or time for rehabilitation, while longer periods are not the standard expectation for this license type.
