Can an application or licensee withdraw from a pending license application or from the status of licensee?

The correct answer is that an application or licensee can indeed withdraw from a pending license application or from the status of licensee, as long as no suspension or revocation is pending. This reflects the principle that individuals maintain certain rights regarding their applications and licenses, provided they are in good standing and not facing any disciplinary actions.

When there is a suspension or revocation in process, this means the regulatory authority, in this case, the Commissioner, has an active concern about the conduct of the applicant or licensee. Therefore, the ability to withdraw from the application or license status is contingent upon not having such disciplinary proceedings underway.

This upholds the integrity of the licensing process while ensuring that all parties involved—both the applicants and the regulatory authority—are aware of any unresolved issues that could affect future interactions or the validity of the license. The other scenarios presented do not correctly capture the regulatory framework guiding withdrawal, as they either impose unnecessary conditions or outright deny the possibility of withdrawal without regard to the situation of the licensee.
