Under what circumstance would a license be automatically suspended?

A license is automatically suspended upon termination of employment because the validity of the license often depends on the individual being actively employed in a capacity that requires it. In the context of manufactured housing, a licensee is usually expected to maintain an active association with a licensed employer or business. If the licensee is no longer employed, they lose the professional context in which the license is issued, which triggers an automatic suspension.

In contrast, reaching retirement age does not inherently lead to a license suspension, as a license may remain valid until it is formally relinquished. Applying for renewal typically involves maintaining the license status rather than suspending it, as long as the renewal process is followed correctly. Transferring to a new employer might require the licensee to update their license information, but it does not automatically suspend their license as long as they adhere to the proper procedures for change.
