What happens if a nonresident license is voluntarily surrendered or nonrenewed for over ninety days?

When a nonresident license is voluntarily surrendered or not renewed for more than ninety days, the director of the relevant regulatory authority has the right to revoke or refuse to continue the license. This provision is in place to ensure that the licensing system maintains a standard of accountability and regulation among adjusters.

The rationale behind this is that allowing a license to remain indefinitely valid or automatically reinstating it could lead to complications in enforcement and monitoring of licensing standards. The requirement for a license to be actively maintained confirms that adjusters remain compliant with the necessary qualifications and ethical guidelines established by the state.

Thus, failing to renew a license or surrendering it willingly communicates that the individual no longer wishes to be licensed, and after a certain period, it is important for the regulatory authority to have the ability to revoke or not renew the license to maintain integrity within the profession. This ensures that only qualified individuals are operating as adjusters within the state.
