What happens to a licensee if their license becomes involuntary inactive?

When a licensee's real estate license becomes involuntarily inactive, it means that they are not authorized to engage in real estate activities. This status typically occurs when a license has not been renewed, when a licensee fails to complete necessary continuing education, or when disciplinary action is taken against them. During this period, the licensee is prohibited from practicing real estate, which includes activities such as representing buyers or sellers, engaging in transactions, and also earning commissions or fees associated with real estate services. Therefore, the correct response indicates that the licensee may not practice real estate while their license is in this inactive status.

This also implies that the other options do not apply, as the licensee is indeed restricted from practicing real estate, cannot automatically renew their license while inactive, and cannot sell properties, even under supervision, until their license is reactivated.
