Why C is correct
Under TIC 4001.151-.156, a temporary license allows an individual to solicit insurance while the regular licensing process is completed, and the statute caps the program: an agency may be issued no more than 500 temporary licenses in a single calendar year. The cap runs to the agency and to the calendar year, not to a license term, so unused capacity does not carry forward. An agency that reaches 500 must wait for the next calendar year before sponsoring additional temporary licensees.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The statutory ceiling is 500 in a calendar year, not 50; the 50 figure belongs to the continuing education deficiency fine schedule, not the temporary license cap.
- B) The cap is tied to a single calendar year rather than to the agency's 2-year license term, so it cannot be stretched across two years.
- D) The number is not unlimited; the 500-per-calendar-year ceiling applies no matter how quickly the holders pass the examination.
Memory hook
Temporary licenses: 500 per agency per calendar year, a hard annual quota.
