For what maximum period can the director suspend an insurance license in Idaho?

The director can suspend an insurance license in Idaho for a maximum period of twelve months. This duration allows for penalties to be imposed for violations while also providing a defined timeframe for the licensee to correct any issues or concerns that led to the suspension. The twelve-month suspension period serves as a balance between holding licensees accountable and allowing them an opportunity for rehabilitation within the regulatory framework.

The other options reflect durations that are not permitted by Idaho law. A six-month suspension may be too brief for addressing serious violations, while nine months and twenty-four months exceed the regulatory limitations for license suspensions established in Idaho. Understanding the specific timeframe for license suspension helps ensure compliance with state regulations and supports effective risk management practices for insurance professionals.
