How many times may a license be inactivated?

The correct answer is that a license may be inactivated two times. In the context of licensing regulations, inactivation typically refers to a status that allows a license holder to temporarily suspend their active license without completely relinquishing it. Understanding the limits on how many times this can occur is important for maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.

Each inactivation represents a formal process that allows the licensee to pause their activity while still preserving the ability to reactivate under certain conditions. The provision of limiting the number of times a license can be inactivated ensures that licensees remain engaged with the licensing framework and do not remain inactive indefinitely, which could undermine regulatory oversight and public trust in professional practices.

While the other options suggest different limits on the number of times a license may be inactivated, only the specification of two inactivation opportunities aligns with regulatory guidelines designed to balance flexibility for license holders with the imperative of maintaining an active and accountable professional community. This ensures that licenses are used effectively while still providing a pathway for temporary absence from active status.
