What is the length of a temporary permit to operate without a licensee-in-charge?

The length of a temporary permit to operate without a licensee-in-charge is correctly identified as 90 days. This 90-day period allows a business to continue operations while they are in the process of securing a licensed individual to take on the requisite responsibilities of oversight and compliance with regulatory standards.

The rationale behind this time frame is to provide a balance between ensuring the continuity of service and enforcing safety and regulatory protocols in the alarm contracting industry. It creates a window for businesses to address any licensing gaps without jeopardizing their operations, while still emphasizing the importance of having qualified personnel in charge. This specific duration is reflective of industry standards and practices, enabling companies to manage transitions effectively while remaining compliant with licensing requirements.

In comparison, other durations such as 30, 60, or 120 days either do not provide sufficient time to transition or exceed what is typically allowed by the governing regulations in this field. The 90-day period strikes an appropriate balance for both the business and regulatory authorities.
