Which of the following is NOT a condition for a license to be placed on inactive status?

A license can be placed on inactive status when certain conditions are met. The option that states the license must be requested to be inactive by the licensee is notable because it describes a permissible action rather than a condition that would prevent a license from being active.

For a license to be inactive, there should be a valid request made by the licensee to transition to that status, indicating their intent to not engage in licensed activities for the time being. It reflects the licensee's control over their own professional status, allowing them to voluntarily choose to stop actively practicing while keeping the option to reactivate their license in the future.

In contrast, having an expired, terminated, or suspended license represents situations where the license is no longer valid for active use due to compliance issues or other regulatory reasons. These conditions do not reflect the licensee's agency in retaining or requesting their operating status. Thus, the action of a licensee choosing to go inactive is not inherently problematic or driven by external conditions, making it distinct among the other options.
