Why D is correct
Under O.C.G.A. § 33-23-13, a temporary license issued upon a producer's death may be renewed, but the total duration may not exceed fifteen months, and it never transfers into or converts to a permanent resident license. It exists only to service the transition, not to replace regular licensure.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) No automatic conversion exists; a temporary license cannot become a resident license.
- B) Renewals are capped at a total of fifteen months; the license cannot be renewed indefinitely.
- C) The license may be issued to a qualified person such as the producer's personal representative; being a licensed producer is not required, and the limits concern duration, not who may service the business.
Memory hook
Temporary is a bridge, never a destination — fifteen months, no conversion.
