What is the maximum duration for a temporary producer license issued to a surviving spouse or business partner?

A temporary producer license issued to a surviving spouse or business partner is designed to allow them to continue operations following the death of a licensee. In New Hampshire, this license can be granted for a maximum duration of 180 days. This period provides sufficient time for the surviving spouse or business partner to assess the business, decide on its future, and complete any necessary arrangements, such as applying for a permanent license or transferring the business.

This timeframe supports business continuity while ensuring that regulatory requirements are met. After 180 days, the temporary license can no longer be used, necessitating action from the temporary license holder to secure their standing moving forward.
