Why B is correct
40 P.S. § 310.9 caps the temporary license at 180 days. The temporary license exists to bridge exceptional situations — such as a licensee's death or disability — so the licensee's insurance business does not collapse while a permanent solution is arranged, but the bridge is deliberately short and non-renewable in character. Candidates who remember 90 days are recalling a distractor, not the statute.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 90 days understates the statutory maximum; 40 P.S. § 310.9 permits up to 180 days.
- C) 30 days is far shorter than the statute allows; the temporary license runs up to 180 days under 40 P.S. § 310.9.
- D) A full year overstates the cap; the temporary license lasts no longer than 180 days.
Memory hook
Temporary means six months — 180 days, no more.
