(1)Consistent with the provisions of subsection a. of this section, the license of any person failing to satisfy the standards for license renewal set forth in sections 6 through 15 of this act shall expire. However, the commissioner may adopt regulations concerning procedures for a person with an expired license to obtain a reinstatement of that license, which in the case of a formerly licensed individual shall be consistent with any expired license reinstatement standards established by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry.

(2)The commissioner may by regulation provide for the license of a residential mortgage lender or residential mortgage broker, if a qualified individual licensee, to continue in existence in an inactive status for a specified period of time.
