For a temporary license, what happens if the application is not approved or disapproved within the given time frame?

A temporary license is designed to allow individuals to begin working while their full license application is being processed. If the application is not approved or disapproved within the established time frame, the correct outcome is that a regular license would be issued. This provision helps to ensure that applicants do not face unnecessary delays or interruptions to their ability to perform home improvement work as long as they comply with the requirements and their application is still under review.

In practice, this allows the applicant to continue their business operations while they wait for the final decision on their license application. The other options either introduce unnecessary complications or suggest revocation or inaction that typically wouldn’t align with the intent of temporary licensing provisions. By issuing a regular license automatically if a decision is not made in time, the process supports both the needs of the applicants and the regulatory standards necessary for home improvement work in Suffolk County.
